Why does it take 8 weeks for smashed toe to heal?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Normal: It is very normal for a smashed toe to take eight weeks to heal. If a bone is broken, it usually takes about that long. Make sure you are protecting it.

Bone Fracture: Any fracture takes 6-8 weeks to heal. Immobilization is important and either no weight or wear a surgical shoe.
