If the misaligned bones doesn't hinder anything that you do then I guess there is no use of correcting it. I also have a friend who have a misaligned bone. He doesn't mind about it because he can do what he was doing before the accident happened.

I was always under the assumption that even if a doctor re-breaks an area it may not always "take" as a natural heal would. For me I am not sure I would want to chance having it not work twice over.

Is there anything this would not work for? Example, I broke my pinky toe years ago and I am pretty sure this would not be something they could correct. It causes me no issues now but it is already healed. ??

Lucy is correct. Surgical operation is the fastest way to treat this kind of problem if your friend is willing to go with this procedure. If not then braces would be the next best thing to do.

I think there is, but it would be very painful. I think this is when patients get those metal braces that slowly lengthen or straighten the bone little by little, sort of like braces for the teeth.

Is there a medical procedure that can straighten misaligned bones that have healed already? I have a friend who had a bone injury but never had the financial capability to undergo a surgery so he left it as it was. It eventually healed but the bone didn't return to its original form. He wants to straighten it out now that he got money.
