[quote=Anonymous]It will depend on what bone and where the break is located on the bone*. So most smaller weight bearing broken bones foot/ankle are 4-8 weeks in kids. My DD was playing after 8 weeks but was not fully recovered till 3 months after a broken foot.  If they have to mess with the tendon it will be surgery- minimum three months and PT. Maybe return to play in 4 months but not 100%. Hope it’s just a broke bone.

Ask for PT it helps and the PT therapist will give you a really good idea on a time line to return based on your DD injury. You have to have full range of motion in that ankle.

*Some of the small ankle/foot bones do not get a lot of blood flow. Specially around the lesser metatarsals close to the ankle. I know two people who broke the same foot bone within a week of each other. The difference in recovery time was 4-6 weeks vs 6 months. These were adults. Kids health quicker!  This was because of where the break occurred on the bone and blood flow to the bone.
