Sorry to hear of your dogs accident. If the dog has been treated correctly by the vet and you follow all their instructions carefully about how much exercise to give him then there shouldn't be any reason why he won't heal with 6-12 weeks depending on the fracture. He may always walk with a limp but that shouldn't bother him at all.
Of course there is a chance that it might not heal to plan and it may take a little longer then you think and may require more treatment but from our experience 99% of fractures heal well enough for the dog to live a normal life.
