You should have asked this question to the treating surgeon. With out seeing the fixation and the geometry of fracture it's difficult to say. But Closed reduction and k wire fixation is an acceptable modality of small bone fracture treatment with a very high success rate. If you do a lot of movements it may become loose. I am sure your doctor must have given you the Do's and Dont's.
