An eight-year-old child with a broken arm in a cast, how long does it take to heal?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Is it a or just a break? If it's, it will take about 4 months to heal completely. If it's just a break, it will take about one and a half to two months. Note that if possible, you can move your fingers a bit, which will help with better self-healing after the cast is removed.
