How long will it take to heal a broken femur?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
10-12 weeks: To some degree healing time depends on where in the femur the fracture is, but 10-12 weeks is a good estimate. Factors such as smoking and diabetes can slow the healing process.

6 to 12 weeks: This depends on how bad the fracture is and if just needed a cast or an intramedullary nail.
