You can talk to your doctor. You may be referred to a specialist. I know that when I was about 8 and got my cast taken off, they had informed me that if the bone did not heal correctly, they would have to break it again and re-set it. They may be able to do something like that for you, depending on your age. The younger you are, the better, because bones stop growing and healing as well after a certain age (I think it's in the teens somewhere, or whenever you stop growing and your bones harden more)

The purpose of the cast is to hold the bone in place while it heals, so years later its pointless.

go to the doctor
