4-6 weeks: If you keep the fracture site from moving too much when you are standing and walking the fracture should be non painful in 2 to 4 weeks. The bone will be healed(on x-ray) in between 6 to 8 weeks depending on your circulation. If you do not splint the bone and the broken bone edges move around it will take considerably longer.

4-6weeks: Longer if the fracture is multifaceted. Rest, elevation most important the first 2 weeks. Afterward, immobilization and either non or partial weight bearing.

6 weeks +: It takes 6 weeks for the bone to heal usually. However, swelling and some pain may last 3-6 months. It should be gradually getting better during that time.
