Thing is, there should be some sort of a spray on the skin to numb it a bit first.
My first fracture, well, the arm bent up like a Z. Docs sprayed the skin surface and stuck a syringe right into the bone (I believe). That was many years ago, technology should have got quite a bit better today. Hand surgeries should not be hard to perform and anesthetics should be very effective. Only when the docs believe that the operation is very small that they don't really use anesthetics. The bad part is after the surgery, when the painkillers wear off. Prepare yourself for the "after" part. Believe me.
