Hi,
The treatment is for 6 weeks. You have to be off your foot for 6 weeks. After 6 weeks, open up your plaster and take physiotherapy and hot fomentation and continue with calcium supplements.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Jaideep Gaver, Orthopedic Surgeon
