Brief Answer:
6-8 weeks to walk.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
After the removal of the fluid and filling the space with bone it takes around 4-6 weeks for the bone to be properly calcified. You will have to be non wight bearing on the leg till then. The time taken for healing depends on the size of the swelling.
It will take 6-8 weeks to walk normally again.
I hope this answers your query.

Wishing you good health.
Regards.
