It usually takes 6 to 8 weeks for fracture to heal and another four weeks you should take to use the limb for writing and lifting objects

Healing time for upper limb long bones is 4 to 6 weeks and for lower limb 6 to 8 weeks. Getting back to writing and eating for you, it might take another 2 to 4 weeks depending upon response to rehabilitation.
