Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Pop should be there for atleast 1 week as it is just hairline fracture. Hairline fractures heal soon.
After plaster removal, you have to give graded exercises to arm as per instruction of orthopaedic surgeon as some stiffness comes after pop.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
