How soon can a child walk with a broken foot

Children can walk on the ground 4-6 weeks after a foot fracture. Usually children with foot fractures recover faster than adult patients, and after proper treatment and reasonable rehabilitation care, they can usually walk in less than 2 months. Many children with fractures are more active, so it is difficult to take care of them. During the recovery process, we should pay close attention to the injured part to prevent the fracture repair part from being injured again during the activity, try to create good recuperation conditions for the patient during the recovery period, increase the protein and calcium intake during the recovery period to help the fracture heal faster. When walking on the ground for the first time, the walking time should not be too long and the walking amplitude should not be too large to prevent re-dislocation of the fracture. If possible, it is recommended to have an examination before walking on the ground to determine if it is possible to walk according to the degree of recovery.
