Do i have to get a plaster for a minor elbow fracture?

It depends: What is the definition of "minor" in theis case, and where in the elbow is the fracture. Fracture care depends on a lot of factors... You may need a cast, but i highly suggest that you see a specialist if you have an elbow fracture.

Depends: This very much depends on the location of the fracture in the elbow. There are indeed some minor elbow fractures that can be treated with a splint. The only way to know for sure which kind you have is to be evaluated by a physician skilled in caring for these injuries.
