How does a docter join the fractured bones?????

The fractured bones heal naturally by our body systems only. A doctor basically helps the body to heal fast. There are some medical treatments depending upon the severity of the fracture. The treatments may be as

Plaster – If the fracture is simple, doctor applies a plaster cast over the fractured area to hold the fracture in place while the bone is healing. This plaster lasts for about six weeks or more according to the age and type of fracture. X rays are done periodically to check whether the bone is joining or not.

Traction – In case of complex fracture plaster cast is not enough. Doctors apply some weights which pull the fractured legs continuously to maintain the alignment.

Surgery – If the fracture is compound or bones got badly injured, surgery is necessary. Doctors set the bones by using metal plates, pins, screws etc.
