Hello. Boxers fracture are supposed to be treasured surgically or else they will malunite (heal in wrong position). Once your fracture is fixed it will be protected in a sling for 4-6 weeks. You will need to followup monthly with the operating surgeon. Please consult an orthopaedic surgeon for further management.
