6 -12 weeks: It takes about six weeks for the bone to become structurally solid, but can take an extended period of time for all the muscles, ligaments and tendons involved to heal.

Variable: After surgery it depends on the area that was fractured and the blood supply and fixation. Can easily take 3-6 months.
