A member asked:
How long does it take for a broken bone in the forearm to heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
About 6 weeks: Bone healing takes about 6-8 weeks for 70% healing. Full healing can take 3 months or longer. An orthopedist should be monitoring it until full healing to avoid problems such as mal union or non union.
