A fracture of the distal radius generally takes from 6 weeks to 3 months to recover, but the recovery time varies depending on the specific fracture. There are many factors affecting fracture healing, such as local blood supply, age, nutritional status, treatment method, and whether there is any underlying disease, etc., so the specific recovery time of the fracture needs to be judged according to the actual situation. Different age will lead to different healing time. Generally, the healing time for people with normal health condition will take about 6 weeks, and for the elderly with underlying diseases such as diabetes, the healing time will be longer, maybe 3 months. After a radius fracture, the first thing you need to do is to take a radiograph and then choose either conservative treatment or surgical treatment according to the results of the examination. For example, if the fracture is not displaced, it can be treated with cast or brace immobilization. If the fracture is more seriously displaced or open, it is usually necessary to carry out surgical reduction and internal fixation treatment. During the recovery period of the fracture, eat more high protein, high vitamin, high calcium food. At the same time, it is also necessary to actively carry out rehabilitation exercises, these measures are conducive to the recovery of the fracture. When a distal radius fracture occurs, it is important to consult a doctor in a timely manner and standardize the treatment under the doctor’s guidance in order to achieve early healing.
