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.
If fracture is displaced after 7 months you need surgical intervention like open reduction and internal fixation with or without bone graft.
You can apply crepe bandage for support.
If arthritis has developed now fusion of foot bone will help to pain relief.
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
