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.
Patients are typically treated in a cast for several weeks as the bones heal, the swelling subsides, and the pain diminishes. Follow-up x-rays are commonly obtained during treatment to monitor the healing and alignment of the bones. Most distal radius fractures take 4-6 weeks to heal. If the wrist is stiff after the cast comes off, hand therapy exercises can be performed to help. Most patients regain range of motion, strength, and function gradually over the subsequent 2-3 months. It may take some patients up to a year to fully recover their strength, however.
