What is reasonable timeframe to drive after wrist surgery?

This depends on what you had done & what the underlying condition was. Also may depend on which wrist. Your orthopedist who knows these details would be best person to ask

This does depend on the type of wrist surgery performed and should be directed by your treating surgeon. Additionally, if you are taking post operative narcotic pain medication, then you should not drive
