You can start physiotherapy.
Gently for 2 weeks and you can increase Physio dose after 2 weeks .
You add a pain killer to facilitate Physio .
Definitely fracture is not perfectly reduced . But there is little we can do now .
There will definitely be difference in opinion among different surgeons . I would prefer to start Physio .
