Having had to wear a third cast on my arm this year (I broke my right wrist at age 8, my left arm at age 16 and lastly my left wrist), I was just wondering.
Never broke a bone until my femur 6 years ago and I still have the rod in there.
Three: Once for the tibia and fibia. Once for the ulna and radius. Once for whatever it’s called between the little finger and the wrist.
The second time I broke same fist bone and the two times I broke toes I just let them heal without.
On my last break, I also broke my tailbone and two toes. No way I was going to get them plastered. A full arm cast was enough!
OK - as the only 6 or more at this point ---------- I raced motorcycles and played rugby in my younger days. Bikes broke most of the bones and I sometimes soaked the cast off that night but lets just say I knew my Blue Cross number without looking at the card.
(Dave Aldana and I both wore skeleton leathers - mine were the ones with the paint/ink scraped off to show all the broken bones I had)
I wore a series of casts for six months with a shattered leg when I was 18 years old. Since then I have had a broken ankle, three broken metatarsals, and a broken fibula and perhaps more. I have not worn a cast since that old leg cast. I refuse any casting and just duct tape the injury and wait for a recovery. Bones usually take me three weeks to heal except the fibula has taken about eight weeks. It’s not for everybody.
Cast - only once. Fractured left radius in the 7th grade. Everything since then has been ligament damage. Not a big trade-off, that’s for sure. My left leg is held together by hope and duct tape.
My mother used to say that either I was the unluckiest person she knew because I fell down so much, or the luckiest because I never broke anything! I did break my baby toe a few years back, but of course, they don’t put a cast on that! At 48YO, I’ve never worn a cast. ::knocks wood::
Once. Broken ankle - asshole at school pushed me down the stairs. These days I probably could have sued.
Have had stress fractures (I was a marathon runner) since which did not require a cast.
Haven’t ever had to wear a cast. When I cracked the ulna of my left arm I had to wear a brace that velcro’d on, but that was it.
I’m unsure how to respond to this one. I have broken 3 bones at various times. I’ve broken each pinky, but never had more than a split, so I’m unsure if that counts. On the opposite end, when I broke my wrist, I had a series of 3-4 casts and 2-3 splints over 6 months. So, depending on how you count them, I’m as few as one, or as many as 7-8.
No broken bones and no casts in 46 years of living, knock wood.
Ow. My head now hurts. 
Twice, both times for a chipped bone in my ankle. Once in high school (I got a plaster cast) and once in Grad School (fiberglass). Times changed.
Only once for me…tore ligaments in my ankle and has a non-plaster cast (fiberglass? I was told it could get wet).
I’ve broken the baby toe on my left foot three times that I’m sure of, and maybe once more. It’s kind of a crunchy, floppy mess. I also chipped my knee cap. No cast for that either.
Twice, but I don’t remember either time. When I was 2, I broke my left arm. When I was 3, I broke my right arm.
When I was 4, I fell out of the shopping cart and got a big black eye. The doctor seriously considered having my parents investigated for abuse! But I was just clumsy.
Actual casts, made out of plaster, only twice and one of those was on my pinky finger. I have quite a collection of braces made from assorted materials that I have gotten for sprains and tears over the years. I’ve worn probably a dozen of those.
I’ve broken five bones on two occasions, and have had only one cast.
3 for me - broke my left leg (tibia and fibula) in a bike accident when I was 11; broke my right arm (radius and ulna) playing football when I was 13; broke my left arm (radius and ulna) playing basketball when I was 18. I could have used my xray films as wallpaper for my bedroom.
The only one I was certain was broken at the time it happened was the football injury - my right forearm bent at 45 degrees - in the middle. My coach almost puked when he saw me.
I once had to wear a flexible removable cast around my knee for a few weeks, but never an actual plaster cast, so I chose “0.”
