I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. A stable, simple and isolated fracture of the ulna (secondary to a direct blow) can be treated with a cast for about four to six weeks. Your doctor will closely follow your progress with x-rays to assure nondisplacement of the fracture and proper bone healing. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
