It would depend on a lot of factors.  How much tissue was removed, etc.  As for the bone, if some of it was removed, as in an amputation, it will not grow back.  Follow your doctor's advice, keep it clean, and it shouldn't take too long...especially if you're a healthy person otherwise.  Make sure to eat healthy foods too...good nutrition promotes healing!

Definetely more than 6 weeks.\n\nRemember injuries of upperlimbs will heal in 3-4 weeks.\nLowerlimb injuries heal in 6-12 weeks.\n\nReach me for more info.

o% chance, the growth plates in your bones are closed shortly after puberty.

IT will fully heal within 2 to 3 Months.

Increased stress will activate osteoblasts. Calcium phosphates are used as filler to promote growth.

Usually just casting or splinting the bone and pain killers is sufficient. Expect to be out of commission for about 4-6 weeks.

that's a trick question...  the human jaw is in a constant state of remodeling in some form or fashion on a microscopic level. as a general rule, the bones reach some sort of happy medium around puberty or soon after.

You need to talk to your surgeon or attending physician. There are some activities that they will recommend that you do not participate in for a specific amount of time due to the possibility of re-injury. You're still in the recovery phase and while you shouldn't "sit home and feel sorry for yourself" patience really is a virtue. You're still healing.\n\nGood luck and glad to hear that you're doing well!

This is an awfully specific question.  I believe you will find your answer in the journal article below. Here is the abstract:\nBone wound healing requires osteoinductive signals that are attributed to (the) bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs). The cellular origin of such osteoinductive signals has only been partially elucidated. Because of the central role of the macrophage in cutaneous wound healing, we hypothesized that the macrophage could play a similar role in osseous healing. It was the aim of the present investigation to examine the possible expression of BMP by the macrophage, and to evaluate the contribution of macrophage products to an early step of bone formation modeled in an in vitro culture system. The synthesis of BMP-2 and BMP-6 by cultured human and murine macrophages was evaluated by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). When human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) were grown in conditioned media from J774A.1 cells, alkaline phosphatase expression increased. This induction was blocked by anti-BMP-2 antibody and by anti-transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) antibody. Modeling of the macrophage expression of osteoinductive signals by potential physiological situations was evaluated by treatments with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or macrophage chemotactic peptide-1 (MCP-1). Macrophage BMP-2 expression was reduced by proinflammatory LPS stimulation (which was confirmed to induce release of the proinflammatory cytokine, TNF-alpha), and conditioned media from LPS-treated macrophages had no ability to increase alkaline phosphatase activity in hMSCs. This first study of macrophage BMP-2 expression indicates that the macrophage is capable of physiological regulation consistent with a key role in osteoinduction for osseous wound healing.

Fractures take 6-8 weeks to heal.  I am presuming that no surgery was necessary to fix the bones/that you have no pins in place.  Given that you will need to stay off the foot until the bones are healed.  It will not be pain free once the cast (you may not even be in a cast yet, but you will be) comes off, but use your head about activity.\n\nThe tarsals can be a tricky group of bones to get complete healing.  Your doctor may be waiting for the swelling to decrease and for things to settle down before making any prognosis.  Ask him or her at your next appointment.  With this group of bones, it is entirely possible you that you will need physical therapy.  Ask you doctor about a "Les Franc" injury.  This is a special case that has a particularly bleak prognosis as far as your foot ever being normal again. \n\nIs there anything to do right now?  Not really.  If you smoke, stop.  Eat a healthy diet.  Keep things elevated and iced.  \n\nIs there some sort of desk duty or something you can do at your work, because if you need full use of your foot to do your work, its going to be a few months.

I would recommend seeing a DR. They will be able to do some x-rays and tell you exactly what you have damaged. After 6 months, I don't think much could be done. Tendons heal differently to bones, they will never be as strong as they used to be. Get a DR's opinion before you start trying to claim on your insurance.

You are absolutely right!  A thick band of bone DOES in fact form around a broken bone after a break, and this thickening is called a callus.\n\nAlthough they may appear dry and lifeless, bones are just as alive as the tissue that surrounds them. Inside the hard outer part of a bone is a spongy center filled with blood vessels and special cells that constantly tear down and rebuild the bone from the inside out. Bone cells called OSTEOCLASTS are like a demolition crew, breaking down old bone material.  Meanwhile cells called OSTEOBLASTS are like a construction crew, building up new bone material as the old stuff is demolished. \n\nSo how do these cells help broken bones heal? When a bone breaks, a blood clot forms around the break.  The osteoclasts near the site of the break immediately begin clearing away the "rubble" (any broken shards of bone, uneven edges, etc).  Meanwhile, the osteoblasts create the thickened bone callus to replace the blood clot and hold the broken bone together. At the same time, the osteoblasts also produce new bone material to repair the damage.   After many weeks, when the bone has regained its structural integrity and can support weight, the osteoclasts function again to "chew" the callus away.  \n\nDepending on the bone and the severity of the fracture, after several weeks its hardworking cells can repair a broken bone as good as new.

Since there is ligamentous injury, recovery is usually 6-8 weeks depending on treatment modality and cessation of activity affecting joint.

No because once what is known as the epiphyseal plate, or growth plate in your long bones have closed with solid bone which usually occurs by the early 20's, it is impossible to grow any taller after this point.

The coccyx or tail bone should heal like any other bone taking anywhere from a minimum of six weeks to three months.  The bone tissue is likely healed by now but the surrounding soft tissues may not.  Maybe some warm wet compresses such as a wet washcloth applied locally will provide anti-inflammatory relief.  Perform  the sit-ups to tolerance.
