The doctor mentioned the fracture is severe and needs surgery but I'm worried can it heal without surgery? The report says it's major but I'd like to understand if there are other options or if surgery is absolutely necessary

While surgery might be recommended for severe fractures, alternative treatments like casting or splinting can sometimes be used. The decision depends on the specific fracture, its location, and whether the bone fragments are significantly displaced. Surgery is often needed for complex fractures or when non-surgical methods are unlikely to result in proper alignment and healing
