Hi Jocelisse's parents,

I don't know much about my procedure to be honest. I still have to make a few enquiries to my specialists.

What I do know is that it lasts for about 1 hour and that it is relatively low risk. After it the forearm is going to stay in a plaster for about 6 weeks, and then I'm going to do PT to get those movements back again.

The wrist should get back to a straight position and I should be able to extend my fingers again. I'm not sure how much I'll be able to move my wrist.

That's really all I know. I still need to talk to one of the specialists for 5 minutes to get a clearer picture.

When I get more info I'll let you know. Sorry I haven't been any more helpful yet.

Good luck and speak to you soon. Ciao.

By the way, Karlos is having his surgery done in Leeds by Mr Kay, whilst I'm having mine done in London by Mr Carlstedt. Both are NHS orthopaedic spetialists.

Ciao. Athos

hello peeps,
im a bit like Athos realy and havent gone too much into the ins and outs of this op , but like he says it really is quite low risk and as far as i know is very common,im also sure the prognosis is pretty much a foregone conclusion as long as the phisio and exercies are properly done,
Athos as soon as i get out of hospital ill give you a mail and tell you how it went.
sorry cant be of much help but will know more soon.
all the best karl
