We are trying to decide what's the best treatment for an exchange student who is living with us. He has gotten involved in baseball and developed osteochondritis dissecans of the elbow. His parents have agreed to whatever we think is best. Would it be helpful to have a CT scan or MRIs done before deciding on the best course of action? 4 years 20 weeks ago 297

My nephew hurt his elbow a while ago and now it's stiff. He has trouble opening it all the way and it doesn't "close" all the way either. Otherwise, it seems to be ok and he doesn't really have any pain. Anyway, his doctor wants to operate on it. Should he do that? 4 years 22 weeks ago 419
Two years ago, I tore my biceps tendon on a construction job. I switched jobs instead of having surgery to repair it. Now I find the pain and loss of strength are making my new job difficult. Is it too late to have the surgery done? 4 years 22 weeks ago 538
I am an amateur weight-lifter. I like to get together with a group of friends after work and workout together. I ruptured my left biceps muscle (I am right-handed) about two months ago. I've had surgery, and I'm in physical therapy now to get my strength back. What kind of results can I expect when this is all said and done? Can I get back to weight-lifting with the guys? 4 years 22 weeks ago 231
