Broke arm surgery question?

I broke my arm and they are saying I might have to have surgery... How does that work? Is it somthing serious. is it somthing all I have to do is sit in a chair and be drugged and they operate on my arm or is it more seriosuly like having to stay a while?
Answer:
it depends.
i broke the ulna and the radius right at the elbow joint...
so the operation was around five hours long and they had to put in a radial head prosthesis and also a plate and pin for the ulna.
now five months after the operation and 46 therapy sessions
I may still need another operation to remove scar tissue that is limiting the range of motion.
good luck.

all they do is numb you and then pop the bone back in place

They put your arm in a cast so it will grow properly
