This is fracture shaft humerus with butterfly fragment. As far as your age concerned it will unite comfortably, most probably malunite, but this will not affect functional outcome. It will remodel with time.

Radiological assessment every week

There is a deformity at the fracture site. So even if the gap is filled, there will be a bend at the fracture site.
Next Steps
Should go for surgery for better results.

It is a comminuted fracture with a large butterfly (seperate) fragment. Better to get it operated. It is going to displace with just a plaster.
