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.
Next Steps
Radiological assessment every week

Start range of motion excercise as soon as possible.
