if its a fracture that doesnt require surgery, than typically he can return to play in 8-12wks [this time frame is higher than the typical 6-8wks for someone who plays a non-contact sport].
If its a fracture that require surgery (typically with hardware), than he can return to play 6-8 wks after all hardware is removed*. Hardware is typically removed 1yr after placement.
*some may allow contact without prior hardware removal, but its controversial.
