Depends: Healing time varies from person to person. Fractures typically take 4-6 weeks to heal, though this could be much longer if surgery was required.

Variable: There are several variables that go into answering your question such as the type of fracture and whether or not it was surgically corrected if a graft was placed etc. But in general your looking at 6-8 weeks.
