i'm now considering the surgery were the hunerus bone,which is now hanging off the side, is attached via a pin to the scapula socket where it would normally be in a healthy body. i'm posting to ask for info from anyone who has had this surgery. like how easy a procedure it was, hospital stay time, recovery aspects and any pain issues associated. thanks for any information, help, tips, etc. doug

Hi! Do you have any more information on this surgery? What are the benefits? Downfalls? I have Erbs Palsy on my right side, and one of my greatest struggles is with my scapula winging out pretty badly.
