Doctors may re-break a leg to correct improper healing or alignment of the bone. This procedure, known as osteoclasis, typically involves administering anesthesia to ensure the patient is comfortable. The doctor then applies controlled force to the healed bone to fracture it again, allowing for proper alignment and stabilization through casting or surgical intervention. Post-procedure, the leg is monitored for healing using imaging techniques like X-rays.
