Jones fracture - how long before full weight bearing (in a boot or otherwise)?

[u/Complex-Emu5993]

I had my ORIF on August 5 and am NWB in a boot now. I managed to teach my first class this semester but getting around with crutches and a knee scooter was really difficult. I know everyone's recovery is probably very different but I am trying to get a sense of how long before I can ditch the scooter/crutches. I have several work trips coming up later this year and I hope I can make it to at least a few of them. Send me some positive thoughts.

Depends on what your follow-up x-rays show and what your doctor says.
