A member asked:
Is it possible to have a broken bone and still be able to use it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes. Depending on how bad the break is. If the break is more like a hairline crack (like a crack in a windshield - but the windshield does not shatter) then it still causes pain but the bone may be stable enough to use.
