Immediately following surgical repair of a fracture, x rays may be again taken through the cast or splint to evaluate whether the rejoined pieces are in good position for healing.
cast or split

the fracture will not heal properly.
How long a cast is on depends on the location of the hairline fracture. In sensitive areas the cast will need to be worn longer.

Not necessarily, it very much depends on different factors such as: exact type of fracture, whether there is any displacement of the fracture, the age and functional expectations of the patient etc. If you are talking about a displaced medial tibial plateaux fracture (Shatzker grade 4) in a young active person, then YES it would need to be fixed. An undisplaced fracture in an elderly patient with limited mobility probably would not need fixed surgically but treated in a cast brace.
No, a broken bone can include surgery while a fracture can include a cast for the body to heal the fracture itself.
A person that has a fracture will usually have a cast for a few weeks. After the cast is taken off, the joints will feel stiff. This is because the muscles have not been moving as much as they did before the fracture. With therapy, the stiffness will go away.
cast change, medication adjustments, follow-up care after fracture treatment
