6 wks w/ proper care: Most fractures take approximately 6 weeks to heal assuming proper care. Foot fractures can lead to deformity and pain; be sure to get it properly evaluated and treated. See your doctor (family doctor, internist or orthopedic surgeon) for best results.

Usually ~6 weeks: Bone healing depends on a variety of factors: location, type of fracture, type of care and a person's ability to heal. The better compliance, the better the results. See your foot care specialist for an evaluation. Dr l.
