fractured cuboid

I have a broken cuboid bone.  I am wearing a cam boot and using a knee walker to get around.  I am having trouble staying off my foot when getting up from sitting, etc. I am non-weight bearing about 95% of the day.  Is this adequate for healing?

Hi there!

For adequate healing one would need to be non-weightbearing 100% of the day. Though healing is dependent on a number of factors and an individual response cannot be specifically predicted; at our end we must make the best possible efforts to minimize trauma that could interfere with healing. I would suggest being more conscious about your foot and avoiding that 5% chance as well.
Hope this is helpful.

Take care!
