How long it takes for an elderly person to heal from a broken wrist

The fracture of the wrist of the elderly takes 6-8 weeks to heal, because the fracture of the wrist of the elderly, the most likely to occur is called the distal radius fracture, the fracture is mostly displaced to the dorsal radial side, and even a comminuted fracture may occur, after the fracture reset the repair ability of the elderly is poor, the healing is slower, so it takes a longer time to fix. After the fracture is fixed and released, the local cold will swell and pain will occur after activity, so the healing time will be longer. However, as long as the fracture is repositioned early, functional exercises are performed early, and the fracture is fixed firmly, clinical healing can be achieved in 6-8 weeks after the fracture, which means that the fracture is cured.
