Varies: In most cases it takes 6 weeks for a bone to heal.
If there is any type of illness or if there is continued toe motion it may take longer.

6 weeks normally: Bone usually takes 6 weeks to heal in a normal patient depending on alignment and care. Even though the bone may be healed, you may have soreness for several more months. As long as dis omfort is improving, it should continue to improve. See your podiatrist if questions. Dr ltoe fr.

6 wks: Just as any other fracture, the main phases of bone healing occur in 6 wks. People tend to take toe fractures for granted, but they heal just like any other bone. Bones even continue to heal and remodel up to a year.
