The length of time it takes for a forearm injury to heal ultimately depends on its severity. There are two bones in the forearm that can experience a problem, namely, the radius and the ulna bones. The radius is thicker than the ulna bone, but the ulna bone is longer than the radius bone. In a forearm injury, either one or both bones can be affected. With that being said, a mild to moderate injury in the forearm will likely take around four to eight weeks to heal. After that sometimes we need rehabilitation or physical therapy may be required to restore strength, flexibility, and range of motion to the joints, bones, muscles, and tendons in the affected area.
