A member asked:
What happens if you break your arm, how do doctors put bones in place?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Manipulation : Depending on the location and type of the fracture, your Orthopaedic surgeon can manipulate the bone and treat it in a cast or perform surgery on the bone. In either case the goal is to line up the broken bone or bones appropriately and keep them in position until the bond heals.
