Fracture will still be seen in a x ray taken 15days following fracture. So please don't worry about it. As long as the fracture spot is not tender to touch you need not worry about bone healing. It would heal. Physio can be started as early as 21days following fracture provided there is no sign of early noon union or delayed union.
