Brief Answer:
Please upload the X-ray report.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
You need to specify the bone that is broken and the extent of displacement. The cost of surgery varies with place/ city and type of surgery. If you want to get the surgery done in XXXXXXX then it will be cheaper. You please upload the X-ray report for a proper evaluation and approximate cost of surgery in XXXXXXX

In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Can be treated conservatively.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again. I've seen the image

There is a fracture of both bones of the forearm. This fracture can be easily treated without surgery with the help of proper reduction and cast application. Even if any mild dislocation remains, the bone gets remodelled on its own in six months and functionally there is no problem in the arm. In case you want to get it fixed surgically then the cost of surgery should be around 20,000INR.
Hope my answer is helpful.

Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
