Hi,

I have studied your case with diligence

Fracture might be uniting if callus can be seen.
Consult your doctor for confirming callus and union.

2 months is sufficient time for healing of fracture in children.

Consulting your doctor cast should be removed and physiotherapy should be started.
You can apply crepe bandage for support.
Muscles will regain power after doing exercises,but need to be done early now.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
