Undisplaced Small Radial Head and Suspected Ulna Fracture

Hi, im 15 years old, less than 24 hrs ago i fell and broke my fall with my left arm, ended up with a very small radial head fracture and a suspected ulna fracture.

The fracture is so small that the ER wasnt even able to see it in the X ray and had to consult with the radiologist. Anyways am now in a sling, have an appointment scheduled with Ortho on friday.

Id love to know from others the recovery timeline since i have exams in 2 weeks. Ive seen others saying it takes 6 weeks to return to normal, but considering my age and the level of fracture whats the likely timeline. I cannot stay away from sports aswell, im really bummed
