Thanks for reaching out about Pullu and including photos. Not quiet sure what a leg nerve disorder is but this looks infected. It is possible the nerve was damaged due to the fracture. If you pinch toes hard, does the bird respond? Test all 4 toes. Anti-inflammatory medications can help take down swelling but nerve regeneration takes time, if at all. If Pullu is mutilating the leg due to pain, an avian collar is needed. If appears infected, antibiotics are needed. Good luck.
