12 weeks and >: It depends on the surgery, if pins are placed etc. Typically at the 4th week physical therapy may be prescribed, but expect at least 12 weeks for swelling to decrease. Discuss with your surgeon.

Varies: Ask your surgeon. Typically patients are immobilized in a fracture boot for up to 6 wks and may be kept non or partial weight bearing.

Recovery times vary: The healing rates can vary depending on the individual and on the exact type of procedure performed. Generally it may take more or less 6 to 8 weeks. Discuss the recovery time with your surgeon who will be performing your surgery.
