Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that you need surgery. Some time when there is open fracture that time putting plate and screw is not advisable so some surgeon prefers only external fixator.
If there is dislocated bone then you need fixation once wound is healed and preferably with in three weeks.
If you want further opinion then you can ask direct questions fromme with x ray report.I hope this will help you.
thanks
