A member asked:
Can someone tell me how long will a fractured bone on the hand take to heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Typically : An adult takes 6-8 weeks for a bone to heal. Often for a nondisplaced finger fracture after three weeks one can begin range of motion if pain is minimal even tho it is not fully healed. Wrist fractures take longer generally. These are just loose recommendations as treatment needs to be monitored and supervised.
