How long for a boxers fracture to heal? And will the ortho want surgery?

I busted my hand, the last 2 fingers, it feels like the ring finger knuckle mostly, not a lot of pain though, still can move my fingers but cant straighten them out much. I got a call from my doc and said the xray showed fractures to the last 2 fingers, i kinda knew. Swelling has went down since it happened two days ago. I didnt go to Hospital cause really I didnt know I broke my hand. I thought it was typical after hitting someone in the face. Oh and btw, what happened was I confronted my ghetto neighbor down my street who never takes the time to make sure their dog doesnt get out and terrorize my side of the neighborhood. I didnt expect things to go south but what did I expect from the ghetto, proned to Hispanic machismo and of course, pitbull owners never do anything wrong. Well I got fired up cause im fed up, he gets in my face and I attempt to push him away and he reaches out to grab my face mask, cutting my ear, so in reaction time I'm p****d already, I was "wtf'd" and shot a couple hay makers. He fell and he claimed he couldnt see out of his eye, and of course for every 1 Mexican asshat, theres several others to take his place. Yes I am Mexican myself so I know this.

Anyways, I have an appointment with the orthopedic tomorrow. I am lucky to be able to get in this early cause the available next open slot is 4 weeks. How long would a fracture, depending on severity, take to heal? So far I can move my digits except extend them very well. Swelling is going down but starting to hurt more if I hit my hand on something. i can type too lol. I still have a form on my hand, its not lopsided or short on one side like I've seen other hand fractures. Its hard to feel my two knuckles though. So i really hope I didnt shatter them.
