You need to report back to your doctor. The fracture should have healed(under normal conditions) within that amount of time. (6 weeks). You should make sure fracture has healed and not displaced. Rehab is what is required at this time.

Physical therapy for strengthening will be needed along with follow up with you Ortho doc to make sure the fracture has healed properly.
