Maybe he should have mentioned the possibility of using a different anchor, but who knows why the decision was made. Have you thought about asking him why he changed his mind? Not that it's a big deal.
Cast and then splint is common. He may have just generalized and mispoken. Don't worry.
It is possible that you also sprained your other finger as well. If it doesn't improve contact your doctor.
I would think you'll be in good shape in about 3 months or so depending on how your rehab goes and your doc's protocol.
