It usually takes around 4-8 weeks for most hairline fractures to alleviate, a little longer for compound fractures. The ribs restore to health the same opening as other bones - your body responds by depositing proteins in the fracture, and the proteins start accumulating minerals to cram in the gap.

There's not too much you can do to speed up healing time except avoiding activities that aggravate the injury, and ensure that you are getting sufficient calcium in your diet. Its pretty obvious what comings and goings should be avoided because they will cause pain, so avoid anything that hurts.
