My son is about to be scheduled for a Mod Quad surgery in a few months in Houston. The same doctors who did his nerve transfer. How was it dealing with your child in the splint with their arm up in the air? Did they experiecne much discomfort or pain from that or the surgery itself? Thanks

I think after birth erbs ,62 years ago the splint would of changed?? Sleeping with a splint hurts, Sleeping on side and Resting the arm and shoulder in a stack of pillows help with the pain , My mom came up with this idea when I was a ,baby it help
I still use a small pillow between my arm and side when sleeping, It changes the angle of shoulder and lesson pain . When I was born the doctor broke my scapula to, Ouch
Just thinking,Hope it helps?

She did amazing!!! She was very upset for about two hours after the surgery, but then she adapted perfectly! She wasnt in any noticeable pain at all. Maybe her age (10 months at time of surgery) had to do with the way she adapted, but she simply amazed me! She moves around very well! It took her a few days to figure out how to balance sitting up but she got it! Amazing how children differ from adults. She slept fine and everything. We did have to trim the cast a bit, but otherwise she did amazing!

My daughter is 3yrs old now and needs the Mod Quad and the Triangle Tilt surgeries, I would love to get feedback from anyone who knows what to expect or if anyone knows what the long term results good and bad could be. Thank you!

You may want to post this as a new question. Also, you should make it clear that this is Dr. Nath's version of the ModQuad. Many doctors have adopted that name for standard set of shoulder tendon transfers, but Dr. Nath does these much differently. Also, no one else does the Triangle Tilt (as far as I know). You might want to investigate why not.
