Q: Broken Fibula

I have a broken fibula in the middle of my leg. It was a clean break and the doctor opted not to go for surgery. 4 weeks later looking at the x-ray it appears to be healing but not exactly in a straight line. The doctor still opted not to go for surgery. If I do not pursue surgery will I be able to recover and play soccer with full function? Will that bone be weaker because it hasn't healed straight?

Many Thanks
