I would like to see your x ray to comment about bone healing at present but i can ensure you that there is no such medicine which can increase rate of fracture healing, so my suggestion to you is that you keep on doing physio and other methods whatever you are doing still fracture healing take 3 to 4 months. If you are having Diabetes or osteoporosis then it can be further delayed.
