How long does it take for a broken hand to heal?

4-6 weeks: Bones in the hand and fingers usually heal enough to resume motion and strengthening in 4-6 weeks. The bone will continue to heal and strengthen for a year.

Depends: 3-4 wks in some bones is long enough to remove the splint and begin range of motion. Others may take several more weeks such as the navicular bone.

6-8 weeks: Depends on several factors including the location, patient's age, smoking, and others.

It depends.: Most fractures take between 6 to 8 weeks to heal. They may be healed enough to allow for movement much sooner, however, and may continue to remodel for months after healing has occurred. Other factors may include the type of fracture, the form of treatment chosen, and patient factors such as age.
