Hi there,
If i was your doctor i will recommend you to get your x ray of hand done first and then after assesment it will be clear if u need to get operated or not. Most likely you will need to get it operated, though the chances of using your pointer finger again are less likely after the surgery but if you dont go for it the chances are zero.
Regards,
Dr. Ammar.
