Best Answer

Fractured bones that have been properly set will normally heal within six weeks. Wrists are areas of complex articulations of many bones, and can take longer depending on the complexity of the fracture. Genetic conditions like Osteogenesis Imperfecta or chronic conditions like Diabetes Mellitus and the over all health and habitus of the patient can all affect the speed of healing for bones. When a person can return to work following a wrist fracture is going to depend on the work itself. A job that entails heavy lifting or anything that might put excessive strain on the wrist may need to be put off longer than six weeks, and may require additional splinting or bracing. Frequently, a physician will prescribe a course of physical therapy to stretch and strengthen the wrist, before clearing the patient for normal work.
