Don't do anything while its still injured for a start.

Once its completely healed I would reckon that if you just practiced punching softer targets eg. old worn out focus pads, punching soft at first, then harder and harder, then moving on to harder targets etc. that you would get somewhere.

Cheeky Musician is right. Let it heal completely before you even attempt to use it. I'd wait about another month after they took the cast off before I taxed it too much. I tried training too hard after I thought I had recovered from a separated rib and I re-separated it. I just thought it hurt the first time I did it. It also took me a lot longer to heal than it did the first time I injured it.

keep working using the other hand and let broken one heal completly like the others said, by traning the other hand you want losse focus and timing and never know what it will do to you.
