A member asked:
How soon will i be regaining mobility after wrist fracture/surgery?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: It depends on the severity of the fracture, the treatment you received and how soon you start therapy. It can take a full year to reach maximum mobility. But in most cases, most patients will gain functional mobility within 2-4 months.

This will vary as : The answer could be anything from a few weeks to a few months depending upon how treatment is delivered. And what the defined details regarding the injuries are. How much swelling you have. And how much pain there is.. A lot of this is individualized to the injury in and the treatment plan. In general; it is good to move fingers rioght away but wrist mtionis not started right away.
