Broken bone
The thigh bone of my nephew is broken during a bike accident before one and half month. It was kept on traction for 15 days and after that plastered by a renowned orthopedic of patna but after removing the plaster after one month it is reveled in X ray that the bone is connected from side rather than straight way and the affected leg is shortened by one inch in length. Will it be normal with time or need surgery to correct the defects? Regards

Hi... Fracture us not healed properly in your case... It will not get back to normal shape on its own...so it needs some kind of intervention to get it back to normal shape.. One inch difference canbe corrected through a sole raised footwear...if you want to avoid surgery... If you prefer surgery then meet a orthopaedic surgeon to perform a surgery to lengthen the bone but it is a time taking painful process... Hope this is helpful for you.. Revert back in case you need further clarification...
