Yeah, bones pretty much take a minimum set time to heal. The variable is how long it takes him to get back to where he can really use it and push it. He's young so I would guess the time required will be on the low end. My son spiral fractured his tibia playing hockey. They told him 8 weeks before he could play again and he was back on the ice in about 4-5 weeks and in games by 6-7 weeks. It would've been 6 months (or never) for an old fart like me 

Tough break for your son.  Here's to the speedy recovery.  Attitude during the healing process makes a monumental difference, so he just needs to stay positive and all will be well before you know it.

thanks again for all the well wishes.    he was determined to get to the game tonight and he made it and he still got to be a captain for the coin toss.   he is with the team for the after game meal so he must have handled the pain well.
