36 year old facial fracture is repair possible?

Can a 36 year old facial(cheekbone) fracture, that is now causing double vision be corrected?
Back in 1989 a softball thrown at high speed fractured my cheek bone(3 breaks), the doctor thought leaving it was ok. A slight inward movement of bone was not that noticeable, however overtime I’m seeing double when looking left. One image on top of the other. Eye doctor says bone is limiting muscle movement.
All the doctors I’ve contacted locally so no to working on this. Only if the fracture was fresh would they consider operating.
Is there a doctor anywhere in the U S who could handle this? Perhaps a physician experienced with old injury cases?
I’m may be resigned to double vision in old age there are worse things.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Bones, Joints & Muscles Support Group.

Thank you for that info. Makes sense I’ll look into it thanks again
