Fractures not healing

What will happen if i start using my hand normally(not wearing sling and lifting weights), when fracture is just 70% healed. Will it stop healing?

Quantifying the healing of fracture is not possible...so 70% looks vague. Either the fracture is healed or not healed, this can be judged both clinically and on x-rays. Delay activities if fracture has not healed.
Next Steps
Share xrays.
