elbow contractures

wow i havent been to this site in a while-no wonder why my old link didnt work. Ahhh let me introduce myself for the new moms and for those that dont remember us. My name is Paula i live in the DFW area with my son Aaron who is 9yrs old and LOBPI hes had 5 surgeries. 4 with Dr Nath and one with Houston Shriners. Hes doing well but his contracture is pretty nasty and stubborn. Im thinking of splinting him. Has anyone had experience with that before? I dont want to put him thru another surgery such as the bicep lengthening. Thanks in advance!
