In general, the time for swelling to subside is about two weeks for a simple radius fracture with a relatively well-positioned fracture. The use of cast braking at the time of the fracture, with the forearm to be suspended over the chest, can speed up the swelling reduction. In the case of more complicated distal radius fractures, such as a comminuted fracture of the distal radius with more serious soft tissue injury, the period of swelling reduction of the fracture will be greatly extended at this time, and it will take about one month for the swelling to basically subside. During the fracture fixation period, it is important to pay attention to functional finger exercises, which help the muscle pump and can accelerate the swelling reduction. In the meantime, you can take conventional swelling medications, such as Veritin or Desoximet-M, to actively reduce the swelling treatment.
