by: Bart - SII

Fractured bones usually take 6-8 weeks to heal, provided they are managed correctly after the injury.

After the fracture heals, it will take some time to regain your motion, strength, and balance, so returning to sports is likely 3-4 months from injury, depending on how rehab goes.
