Looks like it must not be healed and it won’t if she is constantly trying to walk on it she needs to be in limited space for now to give the bones time to heal. Soft bedding and NO drake wanting to mate with her. Give her pool therapy daily but you put her in and take her out. Is the leg straight?
 
She has been in a sling for 2 weeks only taken out to bath her.... with just water. The bone feels healed. It was protruding from her leg when I found her. I put her in the grass today and let her "crawl" she uses her wings and the healed leg. I also put her in the kiddie pool I have in the pen for them. She seems to like that also

It's not straight, but it definitely needs to be pulled underneath her. I am thinking slinging the one leg under her body
 
Evidently there is something going on with the leg maybe the bone didn’t set right how does the leg feel when you examine her? It only takes 2 weeks for a compound fracture to heal that seems like not enough time. @casportpony
That's kinda what I am thinking to... she is trying to use it so maybe it just needs more time.
