Could you run by me the best way to treat an 83-year-old man with an elbow fracture? My father has a distal humeral displaced fracture. 3 years 38 weeks ago 291
Does this make sense to you? Mother fell and broke her elbow (the bottom of the long arm bone, not her forearm bone). They want to wait before they do surgery. They say there's a chance she could heal on her own with a splint if she's careful. What if it doesn't heal? Will the surgery still works as good as if she had it now? We just don't know what to think. 3 years 38 weeks ago 400
Can you tell me what overstuffing means? I had elbow surgery with plates and screws to hold a bone together that was broken into tiny bits. When that failed, they took the top of the radius bone out and put an artificial implant in. Now I've lost even more motion and the new surgeon says it's because I have an overstuffed implant. I don't really understand what that means exactly. 3 years 39 weeks ago 635
My husband is scheduled for surgery this afternoon for a badly broken elbow (motorcycle accident). They are talking about taking one of the bones out at the top and replacing it with an implant. He's already signed the forms giving the surgeon permission to do whatever needs to be done. I'm wondering if that's such a good idea. Maybe we should go back and say, No, save the elbow no matter what. What do you think? 3 years 39 weeks ago 325
Have you ever heard of a nine-year-old having golfer's elbow? Our daughter has been complaining about elbow pain for months. We finally took her into see the pediatric orthopedic specialist and that's the diagnosis. She doesn't even play golf! 3 years 40 weeks ago 313
