How long can it take for a bone fracture to heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
4 to 6 weeks: Small hairline fractures can be clinically or functionally healed at about 4 weeks. More substantial fractures usually heal at about 6 weeks but there are some more difficult cases where delayed healing can take much longer.
