How long should a partially dislocated wrist be imbolized for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2-4 weeks: If it has been properly reduced your orthopedic specialist will most likely recommend 2-4 weeks, with re-evaluation at the end of prescribed time frame to check stability and recommend rehabilitation exercise. Call your orthopedic sports medicine specialist. If it hasn't been evaluated by a medical professional see as soon as possible.
