About how long will it take for my broken arm/wrist to be back at full strength?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can not tell: Healing the fracture requires formation of new bone to unite the pieces. It depends on the method of fixation, the blood supply, and your vitamin d levels. Doctors can check with xray to see the callus formation which shows on xray and is an indication of the new bone formation.
