Yes nearly more than 80 percent do not need surgery . Try to apply some moisturizer and straighten the thumb within pain limits every hour 5 to 10 mnts when the baby is awake.. or meet a physiotherapist to know how exactly to hold the thumb and do physiotherapy or Google it. Normally these resolve by 2 to 3 years . If it does not resolve even after 3 years you can get surgical release done. Please do not undergo surgery before 2 to 3 years
