Answers:
That's a serious injury and I wouldn't expect you to be doing anything for at least three months!.
Stable fractures such as the avulsion fracture experienced by an athlete will normally heal without surgery!. The physician may prescribe a painkiller (analgesic)!. The patient will have to use crutches or a walker, and will have to avoid putting weight on the hip until the bones heal!. Because mobility may be limited for several months, the physician may also prescribe a blood-thinner to reduce the risk of blood clots forming in the veins of the legs!.
Regarding the thumbs down - an Avulsion fracture is when the ligament is torn away from the bone and takes a piece of bone with it!. Six to eight weeks is normal for healing, but going back to play football should be later because there is no way that that injury is not going to get stressed and possibly reinjured!. I might have been a little enthusiastic when saying what I said above, but I was talking about playing football!. It's a bad injury that needs plenty of time to heal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You didn't say what caused the avulsion fracture!.!.!.!. typically avulsion fractures result from extreme force of muscles/tendons on the bone which results in the bone shearing off from its other tissue!. Very painful!. Depending on where the avulsion fracture is located and how extensive it is determines the treatment and length of healing!. Since you didn't mention having had your fracture pinned, it sounds less serious!. I would suggest you will be out for 6-8 weeks while it heals!. Don't do anything that will aggravate the fracture or it will be even longer!. If you want a more definitive time period, your physician should be following your progress and should know!.
