My childs arm looks crooked. How can it grow straight?
Kids have an incredible capacity for their arm or leg to grow straight after their broken bone has healed. Orthopedic surgeons call this process remodeling. Remarkably, your childs bones are genetically programmed to grow back into their original shape over time. This is often an important issue because when you look at an x-ray and your childs arm or leg does not look perfectly aligned, you will wonder if it will ever be right again. Ask your surgeon to show you an example of how kids bones remodel with growth and you will be amazed at their capacity to grow straight again.
