Depends on what's fractured and where. Fractured little toes can heal in a month or so. Stress-bearing areas like knees and ankles can take over a year. The factors invovled are:

  • Blood supply to the area
  • Re-injury (by trauma or repeated stress)
  • Surface area that must heal.
  • Extent to which the damaged area can be reinforced or immobilized while healing.

I would imagine that a green-stick fracture would take longer to heal than a clean break as there is a lot more bone to heal.
