Six to eight weeks.: An avulsion fracture is when a chunk of bone is broken off the main body of the bone by an extreme pulling of soft tissue attached to it. The fracture may be undisplaced but it may or may not be stable. Therefore, ordinary splinting may not be sufficient to control excessive movement of the loose chunk. This could be damaging to the function of the joint. Either a pin or screw may be necessary.
