Brief Answer:
Surgery is not needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have seen the attached X-ray. The fracture is not much displaced. This can heal with conservative treatment. You can have a cast on for 3-4 weeks. This will not require a surgical fixation. Please do not worry.
I hope this answers your query.
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.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
