Typically, the recovery time for a broken bone will be based on the type of fracture, severity, and location of the injured area. There is a wide range of variables that will contribute to your healing time which are all dependent on the individual patient and their unique medical circumstances. A broken bone along with the nearby tissue area around the fracture site will need a minimum of six to eight weeks to fully recover. In certain cases, depending on the above factors as well as overall health, this time range can fluctuate.
