My pinky finger got fractured and the doctor recommended surgery. Is surgery really necessary for this kind of injury? I've attached the x-ray could you take a look and let me know what you think? Just worried if there are other options or if surgery is the best way to heal properly.

I have a rod in my left leg from a tibia fracture and it's been causing me pain sometimes. I'm thinking about getting it removed but I'm not sure how long the recovery would take after the surgery. What kind of complications could happen after the removal? Also, would it be okay if I just had the screws taken out instead of the whole rod?
Rod removal after a tibia fracture can relieve pain but recovery usually takes 4–6 weeks, depending on your overall health and bone healing. Complications may include infection, nerve injury, or re-fracture. In some cases, removing only the screws can help if they’re causing localized discomfort. It's best to discuss imaging and options with your orthopedic surgeon.
