Bone on average : Will heal in 6-8 weeks. Smoking, vitamin d deficiency and other things can impede bone healing. Optimize bone healing by following the doctor's orders. Keep inflammation reduced. Oftentimes, physical therapy might be ordered to keep swelling minimized and for range of motion excercises.
