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.

My dad is 66 and surgeons are recommending surgery but say there's no guarantee of success. He's also having pain in both arms now. What should we do next? Is surgery the best option or are there other treatments we can explore?

Get a second opinion and explore conservative options like pain management or physiotherapy before deciding on surgery.
