non union when the bone doesn't heal together that's worst case scenario.
mal union when the bone heals crooked and your pinky finger will be under or over ring finger when making a fist. If you don't want to go to the doc, I would suggest you tape the pinky finger to ring finger and wrap 1 to 5 metacarpals in self adherent wrap, you may experience mal union a little but nothing that will affect you terribly.
