You need to speak with the orthopedist treating you before discontinuing your cast.

You should follow the direction of the treating orthopaedic surgeon regarding discontinuing or stoppping the immobilization. Having said that, the CT scan results that you have described are very encouraging and suggest your scaphoid fracture will go on to healing without surgical intervention.
