Cast or Surgery?

After breaking my hand the other day, the doctor says that surgery might be needed but not necessary. The cast would just leave me with a shorter right hand than my left, but the surgery should make it stronger. Its up to me, and healing time is the same. What would you do?

i did tore the ligaments my thumb, but i took the cast over surgery and its perfectly fine now, other than a teeny bit of lost movement that i dont even notice now.

Surgery, ask them to put in some titanium knuckles in you, you'll be set for life.

OBVIOUSLY, none of you saw that he wrote that he made the stupid decision and got the cast.

i did the surgery in my arm, it hurts a lot, but its worth it, i got a metal plate in my arm and now it supports the bone more and now the bone is stronger
