Casting Initial treatment is typically in a cast, without any weight being placed on it, for at least six weeks. If after this period of time healing has not occurred a further six weeks of casting may be recommended. Up to half, however, may not heal after casting. Surgery In athletes or if the pieces of bone are separated by more than 2 mm surgery may be considered. In a study of all players who entered the NFL Scouting Combine from 2009 to 2015, the incidence of<unk>  was 3.2% and all had received surgery to repair the<unk>  with a metal screw. For persons who are not athletes, surgery might not be recommended unless healing does not occur after a trial of cast treatment.
