If the fracture is not displaced, is stable, and is not associated with another fracture, it may be treated with a cast for around five to six weeks. During the recovery period healing can be followed up with x-rays. Heavy lifting should be avoided. After the cast has been removed exercises are encouraged and full strength is regained over time. Treatment may also be with splinting and early movement. When there is a displaced fracture and also when the radioulnar joints are involved an operation is often performed, using either flexible rods or screws and plates in order to reduce the fracture and immobilise the bone.
