Does anyone have a dislocated elbow???? Dr Cornwall said frankies is dislocated and couldn't be put back in (it wouldn't stay ) so he said he wouldn't do anything to try to straighten the elbow contracture except serial casting. They think this has happened possibly because of the muscles tightening and his growth pulling the bone out of joint. Does anyone else have this problem and what was done for it if anything?? Frankies OT said you can't even feel it which leads her to think this has been a slow process over time. I was never told this could happen his last elbow xray before 12/06 was 12/01 so this has happened some where in between. Thanks Mare
