Hello to all-
I haven't posted in a year, since my son Matthew had MQ surgery at TCH (April 2001).We were extremely pleased with the result of the surgery. However, I am interested in knowing if anyone knows anything about bicep lengthening surgery? Dr. Nath mentioned at the time of his surgery last year that his biceps were "tight" and that he probably would need the bicep lengthening procedure. Matthew carries his arm bent at the elbow and up around his chest height. I think this is what he is referring to. Does anyone have experience with this surgery? Some questions I have are: What does the surgery do? Recovery time? What kind of splint-different from SOL? Difficulty post-op compared to Mod Quad? I would greatly appreciate any information. I can't believe we have to get back into surgery mode. I am very scared-for my son and for me. I fell into a bad depression after his last surgery and am just emerging from it and I do not want to go back there. Information helps! Thank you.
