Hi welcome to the health care magic

The decision regarding surgery taken after seeing report of x ray and clinical condition

If you post your x ray or x report than further comment can be given

Here fracture is at three site, hence mostly you will need surgery for that

You can consult another orthopedic surgeon for examination and just for taking second opinion from him after examination....

Take care

Hope your concern solved
