- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: January 1980 Yamaha RD200 vs 16 wheeler truck, result, 1 totally paralysed right arm. I was 21, now 54. I had no surgery, I don't regret this. Decided to totally ignore limitations (easily done aged 21) adapted very quickly to one handed life, got married, had 3 kids, worked- the effect of the injury on my life (once the pain stopped being constant) was minimal and now, aged 54, I very rarely even think of it, unless I bash it or it gets cold, then I wish I'd had it amputated :) Except for a steering knob on my car, I have no adaptations to help with life, mainly because I honestly don't think of myself as disabled and the only thing I can't do is peel potatoes, which is definitely a good thing.

Thanks Francine, I'm looking for more papers by Dr Kline, this list goes on forever....I knew he had an interest in tbpi but I had no idea he'd been in this field so long, 40 years of experience! He must be one of the US surgeons who started looking at tbpi after Vietnam. Thanks again, great info :0)

I believe that Dr. Laurent from TCH started up after Viet Nam too....

Re: DR. Klien in Louisiana?
My son Errett was hurt in football in oct 1997, had surgery with Kline and Tiel, in New Orleans,La
he has full recovery ,
his was right C-5 and C-6
had surgery in april 1998 and had full recovery by feb 2001 and released from Doctors,
but they did ask him if he was ever in New Orleans to drop by and say Hi! and we send them picture of Errett
every year showing him playing golf, goofing off with his brother, and holding one of his friends baby.
in our Books they are the Best, and if we had to go through the injury all over we would go back in a heart beat.

Re: DR. Klien in Louisiana?
Been going to Dr. Kline not (Klien) for 10 years he is at LSU Medical center in New Orleans. Probably the nicest man I ever met. He's answered any question I ever had without all trying to confuse me with big medical terms. Just seen him in May probably for last time. I have found numerous pages about him just by typing his name into a search engine. Good luck.
Re: DR. Klien in Louisiana?
My son had surgery last November by him. He is the most gentle man and the surgery appears to have been a success, to what extent, it is to early to know. My son has begun to get some movement back already, just 6 months post op.
