Broken/crooked fingers due to sports injury

Two of my fingers are very deviated at the joint as a result of the impact of a cricket ball (basically the weight and size of a small rock for Americans). I cannot remember the exact date of the injuries, but they are several years old and caused severe pain at the time, although I did not notice any deviation, likely due to swelling.

It has bothered me ever since and causes difficulty typing, playing instruments, as well as being pretty ugly!

I would like to know if it is possible to fix. I went to the doctor a while ago but he was quite dismissive.

Pictures here: https://imgur.com/a/yF5uCUN. The fingers in question are my right middle ringer and left ring finger. Both are deviated to the side and also 'compressed' so the joint does not fit snugly together. As a result it is difficult to straighten fully and feels very tight when I try to do so.
