How long will it take to recover before playing sports after a broken forearm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends...: Bone healing usually takes 6-8 weeks depending on the type of fracture. Each person has a different healing potential depending on age and overall health. Factors that may speed your recovery include: immobilization, elevation, good nutrition, follow your physicians’ instructions and do not smoke.
