It depends on the type of bone, location, age of the patient and also whether its a closed or open injury, nature of the soft tissues around the fracture, associated medical problems like diabetes. So there is no straight forward answer to it. However a rough guide is 6-12 weekds for upper limb bones in adults and upto 24 weeks for lower limb bones.
