How long does it normally take for a broken wrist to fully heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
6 weeks for the bone: Fractures typically heal within 6 weeks, but with the wrist there can be lingering soft tissue injuries. Full recovery probably takes 3 months and may require occupational therapy. See a board certified orthopaedic hand surgeon for evaluation and treatment.
