A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Assuming it is properly healing and aligned, suspect close to full recovery at about 7-8 weeks, based upon your current age. At that point, visit your orthopedic surgeon, obtain a follow-up final evaluation and obtain suggestions for resumption of activity. Physical therapy with exercise may be needed to return to your prior level of function.
