When I broke my foot I was put into a "boot cast" which kept my foot placed at the right position to keep it immobile. It took seven months to heal without being pinned and plated but it healed correctly. My broken areas were the heal, achilies heal cord and the 4th and 5th metatarsal bones. If you cant find the means to have it pinned and plated have them put on a plaster or fiberglass type cast for the first four weeks then switch you to a "boot cast" and use a bone growth stimulator 15 minutes - a half hour a day and your bones will heal correctly and be fully functional again.

Take care.
