Hello, Sorry to hear about your predicament. Usually, bone healing takes 6 to eight weeks, though there are many factors that can delay healing or cause painful scarring rather than healing. The more immobilized the fragment is, usually the better. Best of luck.
Bone fractures normally take 6-8 weeks to heal
The answer is "don't know". Chipped bone may or may not heal on its own. The treatment process is important to determine that as well as location and size of the chip bone. I recommend that if you have concern or symptoms, you should be seen and repeat the xray to see if the bone is healed.
Fractures usually take 6-8 weeks to heal. I recommend you discuss with a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) for time frame in your particular case
An avulsion or chip fracture sometimes never heals. But if there are no symptoms, that honey healing is unimportant
