Which type of fracture do not require surgery?

No surgery is needed in just about any fracture where the bone(s) can be properly repositioned for healing with simple, external manipulation ... examples might be a hair line fracture or most minor green stick fractures. Unless you have a really bad compound fracture that causes some kind of deformity or loss of circulation in your extremities (toes, fingers, etc.), you probably will not require surgery. The doctor will just set the bone and put a cast on it. Hip fractures, however, often do receive surgeries. Source: I'm a health care provider.
