Content: Mild (grade 1) sprains may resolve in one to two weeks, while more severe injuries may take weeks. If surgery is required, the healing time may be eight to 12 weeks, but it might take six months to a year to recover full power and range of motion. What Is the Prognosis for a Wrist Sprain? The goal for wrist sprain treatment and rehab is to return the patient to previous level of function. Older patients who have osteoporosis or joint arthritis will be less likely to recover well. Is It Possible to Prevent a Sprained Wrist? Most wrist sprains occur due to falls. Minimizing the risk of falls will also minimize the risk of wrist sprain. This includes wearing appropriate shoes and being careful or wet or icy surfaces. Wrist sprains also occur in sport like skateboarding and skiing.
