A member asked:
My 13yo sprained his wrist in football practice last saturday. can he return to practice or should he be sitting them out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wrist sprain: Usually a sprain takes 10-14 days to heal. An exam before returning to sports and a patient who is pain free should be the criteria for return to play. All the best.
