A spiral fracture could lead to a limp yes. But not necessarily
It had to be operated to construct the break, it could not been set without an operation.
I never limped after my leg healed. Now I am almost sixteen years further and I exercise about five times a week, of which two times running for half an hour. Have been doing that for over nine years now. And I never ever experienced problems with my legs.
But I broke my leg at the age of 13. It probably depends if you break a leg on older age or when one is still young. Mayhbe a bit ironic, the surgeon who operated my did had a limp. I cannot recall why that was the case, but I believe he broke his leg once too...
