Duration | Bump on the wrist

Duration

If the bump is a bruise or insect bite, the volume should return to normal within a week. If a wrist fracture is the diagnosis, the therapy can last up to several weeks. The treatment of a ganglion on the wrist usually lasts for a short time.

After the puncture or surgical intervention, the full range of motion is usually guaranteed. Exceptions are made for extensive operations, in which vessels, tendons and nerves can also be damaged, so that immobilisation of the wrist or hand for a few days may be advisable. After the treatment, physiotherapy can help to train the full range of motion of the hand.
