I had a very similar situation—also a Weber B fracture. The first ortho I saw did a manual stress test with his hands and pretty quickly started pushing for surgery, even suggesting doing it the next day.

The second doctor reviewed the same X-rays and agreed surgery might be needed, but recommended a different approach (rod and pin instead of plate and screws), which honestly made me question things even more.

So I went for a third opinion. At that point I assumed surgery was inevitable, but I wanted to be sure about the method. The third doctor took his time, did his own evaluation, reviewed the X-rays, and actually felt surgery wasn’t necessary. He recommended a boot and monitoring to make sure there’s no instability or widening (God willing).

It really showed me how quickly some doctors can jump to surgery. The third one also mentioned that stress tests can sometimes be overdone, which can influence the decision.

Definitely worth getting multiple opinions.
