“Unsuccessful corrective surgery?”
I went for corrective surgery after a bonesetter wrongly set a femur fracture. The surgery was unsuccessful. The traction method was used, after the doctor, refused to plate the bones because of bleeding in the theatre. Three years after, the fracture is yet to unite, even after another bone setter handled it. My question is, can the bones unite again after this long period. I've spent a fortune.

Depends on blood supply and your general health. Smoking is bad for blood supply and the position of fracture. It will likely need bone grafts and IM nails if another surgery is attempted.
Hello and thanks for sharing your question with the FATD community. Thanks for allowing me to offer my thoughts, tips, and suggestions regarding your question/issue. I am so sorry to read about your struggles with your thigh bone. I lack a distinctive fact (which would help give me some perspective): how old are you? The femur (thigh bone) fractures or breaks are usually treated with surgery unless the person is too sick or their bones have yet to finish growing. If you are relatively healthy, your femur bone (longest and strongest in the body) should heal with the right surgeon (trauma specialist who is technically good). I hope this helps.
It absolutely can still heal at this point.
Simple answer. Yes.
This is not that incommon. Seek out a known orthopedic trauma surgeon who
corrects nonunions to solve your problem.

Start Acupuncture with Moxibustion. Consult Functional medicine and a Naturopath doctor.
