I would guess a splint or a cast, maybe ask your doctor first though

you need a split, which is like a cast but you can no longer run for a week or until you notice your speed increase; you can make a split with a tree branch or plank which you get by cutting down trees and a ripped sheets then you right click to make splint

Healing time is probably gonna be a week or two. My GF and I have been playing, we've both broken legs and feet, healing time was always above 1 week, although you'll gain speed the further into the healing process you are. You're just gonna have to apply a splint and check on it every now and then (remove it, put it back on) to see if the fracture has healed.

I have broken my leg quite a bit as well on a server I was on when building my base - it was a collective effort and everyone in my group (like 3-4 people) all broke their legs. Lol. Anyways, after we finally were bandaged up and mind you I don't think none of us had the extended healing or really high first aid.

It took about two in-game weeks for my leg to finally heal where I was able to run and finally take off my cast - a tip for when you know it will be healing is your movement will start to get better each day until you can fully sprint again.

You will heal faster if you stay well fed. I have healed from a fractured leg in about 3 days, with high food consumption.

I meant 3 weeks, not 3 days... lol
If you forage, you can find Comfrey, and if you find 5 of them, you can make a paste with a mortal and pestal, that when applied directly on the fracture, will make it heal faster.
