Re: surgery for elbow contractures

<t>To answer someone's question about how come triceps are not strong... Well, with my son we got his biceps strong and thought for the longest time that there were no triceps working because my son uses his shoulder instead of triceps they were not strengthening. After we had the needle in the skin...

Re: Arms/hands growing at different rates

<t>Thanks so much everyone. I just wanted to make sure my son is no different than all the other BPI patients. He has the best attitude and at 7 has never asked us why he had this happen or why his sister didn't have it happen to her and when kids ask what happen he says" I had surgery on my lefty!"...

Arms/hands growing at different rates

My son is 7 and it seems that for a while his arm length was pretty much keeping up with his other arm in length as he grew but now his hand on his injured arm is so much narrower and smaller. Does anyone know why and if it will ever balance out as he grows older?

Re: Supination

Do you know what that surgery was? I have been told that my son should have an osteotomy. Does anyone know what this entails and what is done and did it disrupt any previous advancements in the shoulder,arm, wrist or hand.

Re: surgery for elbow contractures

My son had the bicep lengthening as well. It didn't completely straighten out his arm but close to it. He still holds his arm in the air though. Any ideas out there?

What can be done about internal rotation on the arm?

Re: Thanks to Shellie and Courtney!

I live in Indiana. I traveled last year to Columbus, Ohio. Where is this clinic taking place in Michigan. Maybe it is closer. When will the next one happen?

Does anyone know if there has ever been one in Indiana?

Supination

<t>My son had surgery a few years ago to have this corrected and it didn't work. I have been unable to get an actual same answer to why it didn't work. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Do you know of something else to make it work correctly? He is so limited because he cannot supinate his left...
