You get the most from this site when you provide details about your issue. What bone? How much of a crack? How do you know it is cracked? What efforts have been made to help the situation? Without details we can not offer a reasoned response. You are welcome to start over.

More will be needed for a detailed answer, but, yes, majority of fractures heal by themselves, surgery is needed if bones are displaced or vascular structures are endangered for example.
