Butland underwent surgery to correct the problem and immediately began his rehabilitation process.
The 23-year-old will miss Euro 2016, but is optimistic he will be ready to rejoin Mark Hughes' for their preparations for the new season.
Butland tweeted: "On the way back from seeing the surgeon, walked in with crutches, walked out without them! Fracture healing really well! Happy boy!
