It depends on initial impact of injury and soft tissue status . Operative management would have been better for this fracture with flexible nailing

The position of bone fragments is satisfactory. It will take 10-12 wk for plaster removal. It will  be 4-6 months before she is back to her usual sports actvities.

Usually bones heal faster in children. Since she is a sports player surgical option would have been better and faster for her.
