This is fracture shaft femur with mild angulation.
This angulation should not increase.
Keep checking it periodically.
Fracture usually take 3 months to untie and consolidate.

Both the fragments are in different rotation, angular ion and shortening etc can be corrected by human body but rotations are less tolerated even if child is small.
