How long will it take for a hairline fracture in a toe to heal?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
4-6 weeks: Most hairline fractures heal rather quickly. That said, some fractures seem to take their time and other still will not heal without some "help". Most toe fractures that are not displaced will heal uneventfully, and within 4-6 weeks.

Bone heals in : 6-8 weeks. Smoking, even antiinflammatories can cause delayed healing.
