How long it takes for Broken Bones / Fractures to Heal

The following is a rough estimate to HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE FOR YOUR BROKEN BONE TO HEAL in a cast. Remember that if you smoke or drink alcohol hard, this time will be longer because of these poisons.

Bone Broken	Time for it to Heal
Collar bone	3-8 weeks
Scapula - shoulder blade	3 weeks
Upper arm	4 weeks
Lower arm	6 weeks
Wrist	3 - 8 weeks
Fingers	3 weeks
Pelvis	2 - 6 weeks
Upper leg	12 weeks
Knee	3 weeks
Lower leg	6-8 weeks
Ankle	6 weeks
Foot	3 - 12 weeks
Toes	3 weeks

Legs take so long to heal because they have to support the full weight of your body so they need to be pretty sturdy before you can resume using 'em.
