As one who has had numerous broken bones, I can tell you that cannabis alone will not heal a fracture. Or anything else, on its own.

It can help with non-specific symptoms, like pain. As one who has had a lifetime of kidney stones -- eight times! -- I can attest to the wonders of cannabis, but as one who has had multiple broken bones, my advice is get thee to a physician.

Cannabis is not in any way a miracle cure for anything. However, when I have a kidney stone passing, it can help with the often extreme discomfort. But when one starts peeing blood, that's when one visits the urologist.
