Let me help you: The hair line fracture should be healed in 6 weeks form the time of injury. Do you have problem with it know? If you do most likely not form the old one you had go and check it out and see what the doctor say. Good luck.

See a doctor: Chances are that since 2006 it has healed. If not it could get worse if trauma where to occur.
