How long does it take for a boxers fracture to heal?

Answer 1

It really depends on what metacarpal(s) were broken and how severe the break(s) are.

A boxer's fracture is the fracture of the fourth or fifth metacarpal. The 4th is the ring finger and the 5th is the pinky. I recently broke my fifth metacarpal. I will spend 4 weeks in a cast, two more weeks in a brace and then another six weeks of self rehabilitation to everything to get back to normal.

Answer 2

It really depends on what metacarpal is broken and how bad. a 5 metacarpal is what i have now i was in a slink for a week and fibercast for 3 weeks and now on and off cast and still healing from me to you i would say another month or 2
