Kindly specify whether the redness in there at the site of fracture alone or the whole limb is involved. Bcs even Deep venous thrombosis may cause symptoms like this bcs of prolonged immbilization. Also It depends on whether the fracture is closed or compound injury, means if there is associated external injury then it may be infected. Also depends on the exact location of fracture, healing may vary. Kindly upload the x-ray ( both recent and past )for further evaluation.
