It usually takes 6 to 8 weeks for complete  union of bone.. In case of calcaneum fracture, it may take around 8 to 12 weeks..  If the surgical scar site remains healthy and bone alignment is good, then it would heal by 2 to 3 months..  It can be judged by getting a repeat x ray..
Next Steps
Continue rest for now along with strict limb elevation, analgesic, calcium and vit d supplements
Health Tips
Avoid weight bearing, active toe movements can be done..

Your operating surgeon would be the best judge as he knows the intra operative fixation strength so better consult your operating surgeon for this
