How long it takes to be able to walk with a minor fracture in the leg must be determined by the specific site of the fracture. In the case of a minor fracture in the upper mid calf area, the photos are usually reviewed in about 4-6 weeks and if you see fracture line blurring or scab growth, you will be able to gradually put weight on the ground and walk lightly and slowly. However, if the fracture is near the knee, ankle or mid-thigh, the fracture growth is relatively slow and it must take about 6-8 weeks before you can walk with weight on the ground. Also, in the case of elderly people, the fracture growth is relatively slow and must be relatively extended for about 2-4 weeks.
