How soon can I walk with a comminuted heel fracture?

A comminuted fracture of the heel bone usually requires 2 to 3 months of recovery before walking. Whether the comminuted heel bone fracture is treated by non-operative or surgical treatment, it is not possible to walk with weight in the early stage, because the heel bone is cancellous bone, and walking with weight too early will cause the heel bone to collapse, resulting in displacement of the fracture. With the progress of time, generally after 2 months, the fracture has formed obvious bone scab, then you can support the crutches partially weight-bearing walking on the ground, pay attention to avoid excessive weight-bearing and strenuous exercise. Generally after 3 months, the comminuted fracture of the heel bone will be basically healed, then you can walk normally in the non-crutched state, due to a long time without walking on the ground, need to adapt to the process, in this process the patient should pay attention to adjusting the gait, strengthen the functional exercise, after a short period of time to adapt to the majority of patients in 3 months can walk normally.
