How long does it take for a scaphoid bone bruise to heal?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: It really depends on the severity of the injury to the scaphoid but i would say at least 4-6 weeks with supportive brace and rest as much as possible.

8-12 weeks: Assuming there is no fracture, sometimes the pain from a contused scaphoid can take 8-12 weeks to feel back to normal.
