Hey! It depends on where the fracture is and the doctors protocol. A couple months is what I would say.

Depends on the fracture type (femoral neck or trochanter plus volume of displacement plus stability of fixation plus your muscle strength). With the best situation, could shift from walker to cane in a few weeks.
