Ideally a scaphoid fracture needs 45 days of cast. Then only one can check whether it is healing or not.

The fracture seems okay, healing changes are not visible on xray for 4 weeks so can't really comment on improvement. Continue plaster cast/ brace for 3 more weeks
Next Steps
Consult Orthopedic Surgeon for further questions.

Yes there is improvement , but the bone is still in healing phase . This scaphoid bone has 80% articular surface so it take times to fully unite , and one more thing in one month the new formation is not usually visible in xray But yes you have improvement
Next Steps
If plaster is there kindly continue is for few more days
Health Tips
Try to avoid twisting wrist
