I have a bony avulsion fracture of my PCL with a bone fragment that's mildly displaced posterosuperiorly and measures around 16x15x10 mm. All my other ligaments are intact. Will this heal with just 4 weeks in a plaster cast or do I need surgery for it?

i broke my arm and the x-ray shows a fracture but im not sure if it needs surgery or can it heal on its own with just a cast or natural treatments

A fractured arm can heal naturally with proper medical treatment, often with a cast or splint. However, some fractures may require surgery to realign bone fragments or stabilize the fracture. Whether your fracture needs surgery or not will depend on the type, location, and severity of the break.
