A member asked:
Can you tell me if i have operated and plates have been added to joint the bones. my question is, will the bones joints together in future?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bones heal over time: If you had a broken bone and a surgeon used a plate to fix the bone, your bone should heal or "join together" over time. The plate serves to hold the bone together until it has time to heal.
