I am 61 years old and i have my arm is broken above the vin for 3 years i want i know how to keep and get it straight i cannot keep it so it will heal?

If your arm was: broken 3 years ago, there's nothing YOU can do about it now. The bone has already set. If your arm is painful or deformed or doesn't work normally, you need to see a orthopedic specialist for further evaluation. Physical therapy may improve the function of your arm, but only surgery will straighten it out. Sorry. Dr. Anne
