Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,
Welcome, and thanks for sharing your concern
I went through your query, and I feel, the term u are using is bit absurd, this joint you are talking of is a mixture of 5 joints, and non displaced fracture in all five is uncommon, better see an orthopod and get your diagnosis cleared, as the treatment will depend on that. moreover i feel you will not need any surgery, if what you say of your diagnosis is correct.
I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back.
Thanks.
