How long does it take for a broken thumb to heal?

Answer 1

I'm not to sure exactly, but I broke my thumb 2 days ago and have been given a thumb splint to wear for the next 6 weeks. According to the doctors, if there are no complications it should be fixed by then. Fingers crossed though.

I've just ad a broken tumb 6 1/2 weeks back... and im aloud to take it of tomorrow.

so it would take 5 to 7 weeks to heal.

iv'e just broken mine 4 hours ago, and have all this to look forward to!!

Broke mine yesterday bummer

-I broke my thumb about 3 weeks ago and I can lift weights and all, the bad thing was that it was my dominate thumb. I had to learn to write with my left. Now, my left hand is considered stronger. Very sad when something like this happens, I can lift about 30 pounds more then my ex. Dominate hand. Hopefully it will get better. Does are my plans xD
about six weeks

Answer 2

16 weeks in a cast !

It really depends on how bad the break was. for example i broke my thumb 1 month ago and didnt realise then i broke it again which resulted in me going to the hospital. but i was only put in a cast for a week which suprised me as the Doctor asked me if i was not in alot of pain after seeing how bad the break in my thumb was.

Answer 3

Most broken bones need 5 - 6 weeks of recovery. Consult with your doctor if you want to remove the cast or brace that you may have on your thumb.

Answer 4

6 weeks.
