A member asked:

Broke navicular bone in right foot which required two screws. will be in cast almost seven weeks. when will i be able to drive again?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Data: Data suggests 9-12 weeks (for stopping times to be similar to un injured). I usually gauge the healing and rom and try to make an assessment of the safety of driving.

Dr Maes and another doctor agreed

Navicular: Your surgeon is the best one to guide you with that - he has the xrays and the personal contact with you . Good luck.
