How long does it take for a metacarpal bone in the hand to heal from a small fracture? I took an x-ray with my local doctor and it has a small crack right in the middle of 3rd metacarpal but no dispacement. i feel a poping now on the site but no pain.

The average time is about 6 to 8 weeks..it only takes a few weeks for the bone to *knit* together..but depending on the type of fracture, how it was caused and what your activities are (such as sport & work etc)..will determine..healing time..
