Dr. Nath's reply about MQ/Caps/Biceps questions on other post

OK, here is the answer from Dr. Nath to the original question that I asked. Helps me with the question about repeating caps.

You ask an excellent question. Truly we do not have all the information
finalized on what should be the exact protocol for a given shoulder problem.
My personal feeling is that capsulodesis is reasonable to attempt multiple
times if there is some improvement each time. However, clearly there are some
kids who will not benefit from even one attampt at a capsulodesis. This is
really a matter of judgement and is difficult to state comprehensively. WE do
take one child at a time and individualize treatment accordingly.

It is great to have the opportunity to get this information. I think when good questions come up like these, that it would be so nice if all of us could post doctors responses, if it is okay with them. It just helps so much to get info. and put peices together.

Wasn't UBPN going to have something where doctors would answer questions for parents? If so, anyone know the status of that? It would probably be nice for the doctors as well, to do general responses, instead of having to answer all of us individually. Plus people ask great questions that I have never thought of and can learn greatly from.

Thanks for posting Christy!
