A member asked:
Can a bone that has healed in an unsual position after fracture still be fixed with surgery or in any other way? if yes, how?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends on the anatomic location and the deformity resulting from improper alignment. In a young person, the normal bone turnover can correct some deformities. It is not feasible to provide a more meaningful opinion without examining you. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
