A member asked:

Went over on foot fractured cuboid bone how long approx until recovery and until i can weight bear on it ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Broken bone: Bone takes 6-8 weeks to heal in a normal healthy person. Only your physician can tell you when you can walk. Walking to soon can place you at risk of further injury. Once your x-rays show healing, you will be allowed to gradually progress to full weightbearing.
