Can someone tell me how long will a broken wrist take to heal?

4-8 weeks as : There is a wide range from a nondisplaced hairline fracture to a severely fragmented fracture . When fractures are fixed operatively we also will often get the wrist out of a cast sooner . Much depends upon the severity of the injury.
