Ask UR doc: This is based on type of fracture, and type of surgery, and the stability if the repair, so ask the surgeon their recommendation.

Talk to MD: If the child has well controlled pain and is excused from physical activity there should be no problem with returning to school. The best guide will be the surgeon who performed the operation.
