Healing can be commented on after checking the xray and knowing the fracture configuration. If fracture is undisplaced, then removal or continuation of plaster cast can be decided after checking a repeat xray at 6 weeks post- injury. It's unclear what you mean by 'bone could not be joined', you need to be more clear for a proper opinion.
