How long is it supposed to it take for a broken wrist to heal ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Typically it : Takes 6-8 weeks for most . A nondisplaced hairline fracture can take less and a scaphoid can take longer. After a fracture it still may take a month or two to fell less swollen and stiff even when radiologicallt healed. Overall i tell most that it is a 3-4 month process.
