I injured my right wrist TFCC around two months back and the doctor recommended surgery. Can you explain the difference between open surgery and arthroscopy for TFCC repair? I'm a bit nervous about the options and recovery process

Arthroscopy is minimally invasive with quicker recovery; open surgery is used for more complex TFCC tears.

I'm 25 and I've noticed that my chest has some kind of deformation. After looking it up online, I figured out that it might be pigeon chest. I'm really keen on getting it treated but I'd prefer to avoid surgery if possible. Is there any other way to deal with this?
