Post fracture there could be stiffness in the fingers which is most commonly seen. Also finger malformation also occurs post fixation. However, if there is still pain at the site after 4 years then it needs to be checked for. It could be due to slight malalingment of the joint or due joint stiffness.
Next Steps
Advise you to please go to nearest physiotherapist for manual mobilisations. It helps in fixing the malalignment if any. Definitely this is subject to complete evaluation.
