    So about 5 weeks ago I broke my foot. I went back to the doctor to get it re examined and I need ORIF surgery. Simple question how long is the recover time on this surgery? Thank you all very much.

    If everything goes well, you would be in a cast, non weight beaing for at least 2-3 weeks and then would be placed in a cam walker boot with partial weig beaing as tolerated. In another 4-6 weeks you will be slowly back on your feet.
