Hi,
Proper healing takes two to three months in this age if he is taking proper rest and maintain the schedule it. May recover earlier than that.
It also depends on the type of fracture, simple hairline fracture heals in three to four weeks but multiple compound fracture may take more than three months.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
