how long for wrist fracture cast
Half cast. A half cast will stay on for 3 to 4 weeks. About 1 week after the cast is put on, your child will need to have a follow-up appointment with the fracture clinic at the hospital. At the clinic, staff will make sure your child's wrist is healing properly. If your child has a half cast, you may also be shown how to remove the cast at home. Depending on the size of the fracture, it may take 6 months to a year before your child's wrist can fully straighten, bend and twist.
