Question Confession Thread

A thread for any questions that you SHOULD know the answer to BUT you don't.
1. As someone who did a degree in the history of medicine this is very embarrassing.
What was the point in history when common injuries [broken ankle for instance] became repairable?
In the past a broken ankle or a broken leg must have crippled someone for the rest of their life.
Please note though that even modern medicine can't repair all injuries. I've known people with common, normal bone injuries that were not fixable and they walked with difficulty for their whole life.
2. When did wolves become extinct in Britain? 14th century? Some sources say as late as the early 1800s wolves still lived in Britain.
Don't ask AI. Unless you want answers that would make a Monty Python skit.
