Hello
as cast was for 3 weeks and now removed, stll i think don't allow him to walk independently, use support and consult with orthopedician and do regular follow up. Prevent him from any further injury. Generally it heals in 6 weeks. give diet rich in calcium like milk products.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
