A comminuted fracture of the heel bone usually takes 3 to 6 months to walk normally, the exact time varies from person to person. After a comminuted fracture of the heel bone, the heel bone needs to have a certain weight-bearing capacity after clinical healing in order to walk normally. In general, patients with heel bone fracture need 3~6 months to walk on the ground, the specific time is related to the severity of the patient and the individual’s physical condition. If the symptoms are mild, the patient can walk in about three months. If the symptoms are severe or the patient is in poor health, it may take up to six months. It is recommended that you use an assistive device, such as crutches, when you first start walking. This will help to minimize weight bearing on the heel bone so that it does not suddenly bear too much weight and cause secondary damage to it. It is recommended to consult your treating doctor according to your condition and follow the time instructed by your doctor to perform functional exercises, and not to be too hasty and too early in order to avoid prolonging the recovery time of the fracture.
