The x-ray is not very clear. Will have to examine first before taking a decision. If it's a tibia fracture, I'd strongly advise a surgery for early mobilisation for the leg
Next Steps
physical consultation is required to assess the leg properly and to come to a diagnosis

As much as can be assessed on the xray film shown, I would not like to operate this patient.
I would like to treat by above knee cast for 6-8,weeks followed by non weight bearing knee exercises.
