Not an injury I have but I hope it all goes well for you. I saw this which is quite comforting:

Outcomes

Most people with these types of fractures do very well and return to prior activities and function. By 6 weeks, patients are extremely comfortable. They cannot be released to full activities such as manual labor, skiing and motocross until about 4 months. Aggressive return to activity too early can result in re-fracture, hardware breakage or nonunion. If fractures heal unevenly, post traumatic arthritis can occur requiring a knee replacement in the future.
