The doctor who put the pin will be the best person to answer this. The indication for traction and the local skin condition etc have a role to play.
Most orthopedic skin wounds heal in 2-3 weeks…some take longer. Your General condition & nutritional status also is equally important.

The pain should decrease in couple of weeks time. The bone will slowly heal and may take few months - upto 4-6 months. But that should not restrict mobility and can start physio depending on his condition after discussing with orthopaedic surgeon.
