Short Arcs: Lie flat on your back or sit upright with your leg placed horizontally on a flat surface like a chair or bed. Place a rolled up towel under the knee. Pull your toes towards you and clench you thigh muscles. Slowly lift your foot up off the bed until your knee is straight (keep your knee resting on the towel). Hold for 3 secs and slowly lower them on the chair. Repeat 10 times twice a day.
Straight Leg Raise: Lie flat on your back. One leg and knee will be straight and other leg should be bent. Pull your toes towards you and tighten/clench the muscle on the front of the thigh, locking your knee straight. Lift your foot up in the air, about 6 inches off the bed. Hold for 3 secs and slowly lower the leg. The knee must remain straight the whole time you are doing this exercise

There is a wide gap between fracture ends, and this fracture may need surgery for fixation. Better to consult an orthopedic rather than follow alternative treatment for more predictive fracture healing

There is gap between the fractured fragments. It needs an Orthopaedic opinion. Ayurveda or Siddha will not help for this. The bones may not heal perfectly but as long as you are not in pain it is not much of a concern.
Next Steps
Seek Orthopaedic opinion.
