Better to keep plaster for 6 weeks followed by physiotherapy , gradual weight bearing , Full weight bearing at 10 weeks if fracture is uniting at acceptable position .

adult bone takes 3-4 months to heal completely however plaster should not be kept for more then 4 - 6 weeks. Feeling fine doesnt assure you that the bone is healed
