About 3-6 months for the bone to mend, possibly longer to regain full strength and motion depending on the specifics of the injury. EG: I fractured my ulna with a poorly-executed strike to a jaw (well, kinda poor - the guy did drop like a rock) and had my arm in a cast for 3. One of my exes had a horrific mishap while snowboarding that actually knocked her elbow outside of her arm, and she had surgery, then various metal braces and such for about 6, but it was over a year before she was 100% like new.
