He got distal radius fracture treated in a plaster. Now more than 6 weeks. Function wise he will be fine. No surgery required at present. Go for good Physiotherapy. And wait. He will have some cosmetic deformity. But functions wise he will be fine. He can do most of the activities. At this age no need of any surgery
