Likely healed : Fractures in foot depend on location and time of immobilization, that is being in cast. If not casted weight placed on fracture may slow the healing process.Usually stress fractures are not displaced and should heal in 4 months time if immobilized initially in cast. Usually orthopedic doctor will re xray area of fracture several weeks after immobilization to check on healing and symptoms.
