Better to go ahead with surgery for early mobilization, rod fixation would suffice as it avoids larger incisions and opening the fracture.

Hello This is a displaced fracture of shaft Radius and Ulna. This definitely requires surgical intervention with plate fixation(Not rod). This kind of fracture cannot be treated with plaster.
