Listen to what the doctor has advised, they don't tell patients to abstain from certain things for the good of their health, it's for the patients.

6 weeks in cast allows the initial calcification process to start without disturbance, allowing the bone to unite.

They would probably be happy with him doing functional things with the arm however holding pads or sparring where he has a risk of injury is not something many would advise until after the 3 month period.

If the break was mid radius/ulna (I'm guessing as they tend to treat humeral fractures differntly) and did not effect function of the wrist or elbow then they would not refer to physiotherapy as there would only be functional exercise they could recommend other than general rotational and free range, which if he is using the arm functionally, he will already be doing.



As for organising him a fight, would you be happy if he re broke his arm during that fight due to taking a heavy shot? and as he already broke it whist in training I'd suggest he does not do it as he will have a weakness there for a few months, some orthopaedic doctors would say upto 12 months but children do tend to heal faster than adults.

Be sensible about this and his training, remember the weight loading process when he will be hitting pads also.

I'd wait until your sure he's ready.
