To my understanding, nowadays, the standard way to fix a broken bone is to attach all the pieces together with a metal plate and some screws.

But how did they come with that idea ? Did people thought that the first surgeon doing so was crazy when they went to the hardware store to buy a drill ? Or was it immediately accepted by the community ?

    Or even better: Mig weld. Although, instead of metal, I guess it would be even better to some how use Calcium, so as soon as someone invents a CIG weld, this should be explored.
