Can i sue a Doctor/Hospital in North Carolina for malpractice for something that happened when I was a kid and could do nothing about it?

I had a broke arm when I was around ten or so and was rushed to the ER. During this Er visit I was see by a doctor who set the break in my arm and put it in a cast. After my brake healed the same doctor (who was also a local doctor) removed my cast. When this cast came off my arm was disfigured in such a manner I still have nightmares about it. He blamed my father saying that he didn't take care of me and probably hurt me him self and that wasn't the case. I ultimately had to have a surgery on my arm that involved the surgeon to cut in two places and remove the disfigured bone. Four inches on one side two on the other. I have a lot of problems and pain from this and it is my primary arm. I am thirty one years old can I still do something about this?
