Bone & Muscle problems

I sustained an index finger injury in August 2022 during a cricket match, resulting in dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint. However, I experienced relief after taking medications at the time. After a year, I consulted a doctor and underwent an MRI for the finger. The findings revealed a torn volar plate of the PIP joint, with retraction extending from its distal to middle phalangeal base, along with mild opening of the joint on the radial aspect and ulnar transition of the middle phalanx relative to the proximal phalanx on stress x-ray. Based on these findings, the doctor has suggested surgery as a treatment option. I am seeking a second opinion on whether the injury can be treated using a finger splint instead of surgery. I would like to know if the torn volar plate can be repaired through stitching alone or if an implant is required during th e surgical procedure. I am interested in exploring all available treatment options to make an informed decision. TIA!🙌🏻
