Yes. My brother broke his arm and it healed wrong and he coudlnt straighten it. They sedated him and broke it again and reset it. Longest summer of his life!

Yes it is usually a surgical procedure but sometimes it is the only way to mend it fully.

Yes.

Sometimes when a bone doesn't grow back right, especially in a child or young person, there isn't enough calcium. Check into that. Calcium is very important.

Good luck,

yes you can.

I once cracked my ankle and after going back for a check up they said that it didn't heal like they wanted and told me I should have it broke so it heals the proper way. After 6 weeks being on crutches with an air cast I told him I would rather not. They told me it could give me problems in the future and then it will be too late to day anything. I still said it was fine... now years later, I wish I would have listened to them...
