I am afraid there are chances of infection in any open fractures but your operating surgery must have taken care of that. Fracture healing takes about 6-12 weeks and weight bearing is allowed after surgery when pain is less. There r no long term consequences and you l be able to do all activities when fracture heals. No need to panic, if something happens there are ways to tackle this
