The sad truth is, they actually don't know which option is better for some fractures. Myself and middleofnowhere are on a clinical trial where you are picked at random to have a displaced fracture (overlapping bones) pinned. Both of us are non-operative participants. He's healed fine, mine still moves about under rotation. Maybe in 5 years time there will be a definitive answer, but for now the NHS only seem to pin the ones that will obviously lead to problems later.
Hope you heal well and definitely rest it as much as possible.
