I am not an orthopedic surgeon who does any wrist operations. I would recommend you ask your orthopedic surgeon who did your wrist procedure. In general, I do not have my patients drive for at least two weeks after spinal surgery.

You should be able to drive. Sometimes a brace is given to protect the wrist and they will tell you to avoid holding any heavy objects.
