Fractures of the wrist and radius that are undisplaced or slightly displaced usually heal in about three months. If the fracture of the wrist and radius is displaced or comminuted, surgery is required and the healing time may be slightly longer, usually taking about three to four months.
If the wrist and radius are fractured, the fracture ends are in good alignment, not displaced or mildly displaced, conservative treatment can be carried out, with plaster or support for external fixation, usually about three months to heal.
If the wrist radius fracture is serious, such as displacement or comminuted fracture, you should cooperate with a professional doctor for surgical reduction and internal fixation, and try to carry out functional exercise of the wrist in about 3 weeks to promote local blood circulation and accelerate the speed of fracture healing. 4 weeks later, you can go to the hospital to take pictures to review the healing of the fracture site. It may take about 3 to 4 months to achieve clinical healing.
During the recovery period of the wrist and radius fracture, you should do proper functional exercises for the wrist as prescribed by the doctor, and go to the hospital regularly to take pictures or do CT to review the healing of the fracture. If the wrist radius fracture reaches the degree of bony healing after three months, only then can you gradually resume normal activities and strength.
