How soon can I walk with a minor fracture of the instep?

Minor fracture of the instep usually takes about 4-6 weeks after the fracture to start walking. Before walking, the local photographs should be reviewed, and if there is a blurring of the fracture line or growth of the bone scab, and there is no obvious localized pressure, swelling, or longitudinal tenderness, then the patient can start walking slowly, and begin to walk and do functional exercises. However, it must be noted that there are two places of fracture, the time to walk on the ground may be relatively longer, for example, the foot of the navicular fracture or talus fracture, these two places of blood circulation is not so good, the growth rate is also relatively slow, it may take 2.5-3 months to be able to see the growth of the bone scab, and then you can get down to the ground to walk.
