11.6yo son has bent fingers & toes

Last week, my son 11.6yo, had slightly fractured his arm and is still on arm immobiliser.  Since its not dislocated, within a week itself the fracture part started covering well. When we visited our Ortho for this, he noticed my son's 2 fingers (the small finger in both hands & his foot shape) is bent slightly. He adviced us to see a Pedioendocrinologist once the fracture story is over. Otherwise his body growth is good and shows signs of puberty here and there.

he is 5ft tall & weighs 46kg.

Is this finger tip bents & the slightly bent feet a serious issue ?  I need your advice.

I'm sure it's not serious,but he may have problems later in life with his walking and hand functions if it isn't taken care of now. Best to have any corrective surgery before he's an adult and the bones are set firmly in the positions that they are in now.
