If its in a location where it gets good blood flow, may not need surgery.
When mine happened 1st guy(a surgen) said have to have surgery.
Went to a sports injury specialist and he said would heal in about 6-9 months.
Can take pain, but on a 1 to 10, this was 12.
But cut'n som'tn out is last resort in my mind.
Wore a removable foam cast(has 4 straps) to keep it 75%-100% imobile depending on activity.
Was out of it in 2-3 months. Being careful, good as new 6 months later.
