differences in splinting

<t>I know that different doctors splint in different positions after muscle release/transfer surgeries, but what I am really wondering is if anyone knows why TCH doesn't splint after the mod quad when the child is still completely unconscious. I have heard that the splinting process the next day can...

Re: Mayo in Rochester, MN

<t>An orthopaedic that we know on a personal level says that is exactly where he would take his child if he had this injury. I think they are very experienced and good. There is an awesome seminar on BPI's coming up there for doctors and therapists, not sure if it is open to parents. I think it woul...

Re: Closure?

<t>After I posted the other day I found myself thinking and hoping that my words didn't come across the wrong way. I was just having one of those days and tired of hearing about the girl who didn't make the dance team and has this injury, or the one that lives a few hours away that is struggling in ...

Re: Closure? (warning: long)

<t>When I read your post I related so much that I almost thought I wrote it myself. I KNOW that settling our case will not bring closure. I am certain of that. I know it will close one stressful chapter, but the book will continue to be written. This is a life long injury and journey, and as for a m...

Re: Right handed / left handed?

We are both right handed and our daughter (no bpi) is left handed. Both my parents were right handed and my husbands as well, although he has a sibling who is left handed. I don't think that kind of assumption is accurate at all! What a joke!

Re: Has anyone's child had the bicep lengthning surgery and /or the pec release

<t>I have been researching the heck out of this surgery, at least all that I am able to. Most doctors will not touch it unless it is over 30 degrees and most BPI doctors agree that it does not interfere at all on a functional level until after 30 degrees. Some doctors say you will have some residual...
