Bone-knitters repaired fractures to bones, and were inserted into a wound to treat the bone. Tools such as bone stabilizers and spray splints kept the broken limb immobile and protected until the patient could be taken to a medical facility where a bone-knitter could heal the wound completely. After the bone was treated, it left behind a feeling that was likened to bee stings.
