HI
Thank for asking to HCM
The fracture limb can not move normally in either of direction due to the plane of movement get disturb due to the fracture the alignment goes off, so the normal articulation is not possible until the fracture get sets up either with casting reduction, or surgery, it is all depend upon the nature of fracture but without treating the fracture not possible to move the arm or straight, have nice day.
