Impaction fracture healed wrong

Hi guys I suffered an impaction fracture 17 months ago after getting in a fight I didn't get it sorted and I went to the doctors later on and they were like no we can't do anything but they seemed blunt about it but my main point is I heard it can be operated on? It still causes me a lot of pain but yeah I have about 70 percent movement in it aswell do you think doctors would re break it?

Re-breaking it is surely possible but that alone doesn't say it will improve the movement or reduce the pain. It all depends on what's going on inside. Was it broken into two pieces or smashed up into a lot of tiny chips? What condition are the ligaments and nerves in now?

You should have an orthopedic surgeon evaluate it and discuss the chances of improvement and the risks of making it worse and proceed from there..
