So with that being said, what’s the earliest time I can return to the hardwood and play? Does it take a while for the wrist to get back into its normal functions?

How fast would my bone heal?

Q: im getting surgery for my left wrist. And my Ulna is longer than the Radius. Which cuases, pain, weakness, numbness, and the bone pops out so it looks nasty. in 4th grade i broke the radius so thats why its shorter now. In the surgery im gonna get it shortened and the dr is gonna insert some metal into my bone and then patch it up and put me in a cast. I have to wear the cast for 1 month. But after the cast is off. I can’t do anything related to contact with my left wrist.so how long would it take to be able to take out the metals in the Ulna. And how long would it take to heal fully. Im 16 and im 5’11. Im pretty healthy and since im korean i get more veggies mixed into my daily diet. During the healing process i will drink more milk, protein, and vitamin D. I just need an estimation thanks.

A: This really isn’t much different than a distal radius break. In fact, it is exactly like it. Anyway, it’s the muscle that will be the bigger drag on healing than the bone. There is a lot of tendons and ligaments in that area. Allow 6 months, and all will be well.
