How long does it take for a soft tissue contusion to heal depends on the extent of the injury. Generally speaking, milder injuries can recover gradually in 2~3 weeks, while severe soft tissue contusions may take 4~6 weeks.
1. Mild soft tissue contusion: for simple skin and subcutaneous tissue contusion, generally speaking, 2~3 weeks can gradually recover, but there are some individual differences.
2. Severe soft tissue contusion: such as ligament tear, muscle tear, joint capsule tear, etc., at this time may require surgical treatment, and the healing time may take 4~6 weeks, or even longer.
Patients with soft tissue contusion are advised to go to the hospital in time to improve the relevant examination to clarify the degree of injury and further treatment.
