Hello!

What kind of treatment you had? You would need to check with an X-ray after 6 weeks and after proper clinical examination can go ahead with physiotherapy if everything has recovered. Are you in a cast? Check and confirm near your orthopedician.

Take care!

Normally 6 to 8 weeks. Was it specifically the calcaneous that was fractured? And as Dr. Vinod (he's good) said get a proper clinical examination, follow ups are very important when it comes to proper post fracture care. If you were put into a walking cast compliance is of utmost importance for proper healing!

Cheers
