How long does it take for a talus fracture to heal?

The healing time varies from patient to patient depending on the site of the talar fracture, with any fracture of the talus taking at least 6 months to heal. If the fracture site is the head or body of the talus, the healing time may be relatively short. However, if the fracture site is the talar neck, the healing time is generally longer. It is clinically recommended that elderly patients or patients with osteoporosis can supplement calcium and promote fracture healing by consuming a calcium-rich diet, taking oral vitamin D and other medications, and getting proper sun exposure.
