Answers: shiji

It takes 6-8 weeks for a bone to heal. In the foot, you need to be especially cognoscente because it bears all your weight. Plus it's a small bone (5th metatarsal) bearing the weight, I'm guessing with a small screw(s) or plate and it is not strong enough to withstand alot of strain. It's impossible to say over the net just when you can walk normally. I gave you the guideline, but only a X-ray can confirm that it's healed. From what I remember, "Jones" fracture have to be closely monitored because healing is an issue...so be smart. Here is a link with more information about "Jone's Fractures." Hope this helps!

varies from person to person and case to case.
