I Was Hit By A Line-drive Softball On My Inner

I was hit by a line-drive softball on my inner leg just above the ankle. This happnd two weeks ago. I was applying cold and hot for several days early and now I'm just using cold pack to help with the swelling. A few days after the injury I went in for an x-ray and initially was told that there were no breaks or fractures. that changed todau when the Urgent Care called me back and told me the radiologist report show a fracture. Now I'm being asked to return to the Urgent Care or see my PCP to be fitted for a splint. My questions is this.... it's been nearly 2 weeks since the injury happend and other than the continued swelling and pain is a splint really going to help?
