2nd opinion for my son's finger fracture

You can leave it as such Repeat xray after 1 month of injury, than decide

In a 2½-year-old child, a stable, minimally displaced fingertip fracture can often heal with dressings and splinting. However, young age does not guarantee correction when the fracture is markedly displaced, rotated, unstable, involves the growth plate, or has tissue trapped between the bone ends. A crush injury with nail-bed disruption may represent an open distal-phalanx injury such as a Seymour-type fracture; these require careful washout, reduction, nail-bed treatment and antibiotics because inadequate treatment can cause infection, growth disturbance, persistent bending or nail deformity. K-wire fixation is usually recommended when the fracture cannot be adequately reduced or will not remain stable in a splint. If satisfactory alignment can be achieved and maintained without a pin, non-operative treatment may still be possible. Therefore, the decision should be based on proper AP, lateral and oblique X-rays, examination of finger alignment and circulation, and assessment of the nail bed and wound—not only on the child’s age. Operating 10–15 days after injury is not automatically too late or unsafe. Delayed pediatric fingertip fractures are treated surgically when necessary, although reduction can become more difficult as healing begins, and the surgeon must carefully check for infection.

If the fracture is significantly displaced or unstable, or the growth plate/nail bed is involved, reduction and temporary K-wire fixation is a reasonable recommendation. Seek urgent review for pus, foul smell, fever, increasing redness/swelling, worsening pain, blackening or poor circulation of the fingertip
