A malunion, where a fractured bone heals in an incorrect position, can be fixed through surgical intervention. The standard procedure involves re-breaking the bone (osteotomy) and realigning it properly, followed by stabilization with plates, screws, or intramedullary nails. In some cases, bone grafting may be necessary to promote healing. Post-surgery, rehabilitation is essential to restore function and strength.

What happens if you take off your cast when you're not supposed to?
You risk your bone not healing fully which could result in nonunion or pseudoarthrosis. Non unions can require internal or external fixation as well as bone grafting. You also risk deformity caused by malunion. Malunion may be treated by breaking the bone that is malaligned and open reduction with internal fixation. You could also hurt yourself trying to remove it.
