Before removing the cast, the doctor will examine your limb (the part of your body where the cast was, like your arm or leg). The doctor may want to take an x-ray of the limb when it's still in the cast and check things like your pain level.

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.
