Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

After the surgical fixation, it usually takes around 8 weeks for the bones to heal properly. It also depends on the extent of displacement and number of fragments and the fixation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Praveen Tayal, Orthopaedic Surgeon
