It was straightforward surgery or reduction and plaster at first day . If not happy with movements and cosmetic appearance then go for corrective osteotomy and fixafion earliest possible time

Splints will no more help you . Either accept the deformity and carry forward you life or get it operated if problematic .

Your fracture is not uniting in normal position… its tilted downwards . Wearing a splint wont work now as already its been 10 weeks aprox. You either accept this deformity with no functional limitation or get surgery done for correction
