Is it true that when a bone breaks and heals it becomes stronger then before

Since they deleted my comment I will ho further into detail.
Short answer is no, when you break a bone fully such and needing a cast it gets weaker due to the fact your body connects them back together like sticking a broken stick back together with tape.
It can however get stronger from micro fractures, where the bone cracks very slightly. This will not need a cast but will “fortify” the bone. See mma fighters how they purply do this to strengthen bones.

“Every time you kick a bag hard, tiny fractures or microfractures develop in your shinbone or tibia. Through ossification, the fractured bones are repaired and become denser and stronger as a result because of the new bone tissue created.”
