With this implant you have to wait for fracture to heal. By using an interlocking nail you could walk earlier.
Next Steps
Please visit an orthopedic surgeon

Considering nature of injury and fracture configuration as well as modality of implant,you are doing quite well but it may take longer to reach stage of bony union which is pre requisite for weight bearing.Have a patience and always be in touch with operating surgeon and follow instructions given by him time to time. Don't be in hurry to walk on fractured leg.
