How long will it take for a fractured knee to heal?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: This will depend on the type of fracture, degree of fracture, any open fracture or contaminated fracture and your general health and co-morbid conditons and medications. Bone usually heals in 4-6 weeks. It can be sooner or later. Discuss this with your surgeon.

Weeks not days: The placement and severity of the fracture will determine the speed of healing.
