How long does it take for an ancle stress fracture to heal completely?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Discuss w/ your doc: In general distal fibula stress fractures take 8 weeks to heal( +_2 weeks). Stress fractures of other 'ankle ' bones may take longer to heal( distal tibia, navicular etc.) Best to ask this question to your treating ORS. Best of Luck!
