The time it takes to remove the cast for a right elbow fracture depends on the severity of the fracture and how quickly it is healing. Typically, a temporary cast is used for about 1-2 weeks and then replaced with a permanent cast, which may need to be worn for up to 6 weeks or more. After this time, your doctor will examine your elbow and take x-rays to determine if the fracture has healed sufficiently to remove the cast. It is important to continue taking calcium and vitamin D supplements as prescribed by your doctor, as they can help support bone health and aid in the healing process. In addition, you should avoid activities that may aggravate the fracture while the cast is on and follow any instructions provided by your doctor or physical therapist for exercises and rehabilitation once the cast is removed. It is best to follow up with your treating doctor to determine the appropriate time to remove the cast and to monitor your progress throughout the healing process.

You need to protect your elbow in plaster for 4-5 weeks for the fracture to heal. Continue your medications. Once the plaster is removed you can start moving your elbow but lifting weights and loading elbow is prohibited.
