Needs surgery: If the pt you are describing is you (26 years old) then the answer is it would most certainly be best to have this fracture fixed surgically after which it would take about 3 months for it to heal reasonably well but 2 years for it to fully remodel also check you vit d level and try to get it up to >50 ng/ml for optimal healing.

Fracture: The fracture may heal in this current position in 6-8 weeks but you will be left with deformity , shortening & stiffness. The best treatment is that it should be reduced & splinted or put in cast.
