My daughter had an invasive elbow reconstruction after a fracture/dislocation caused extra bone growth attempting to fuse all 3 elbow bones, moved her liner nerve and removed tens of random bone fragments. We are back with a bone spur and loose bodies in the joint prohibiting range of motion....
Literature has recommended anywhere from 3 to 8 months of nonoperative rehabilitation before return to sport.8,10,12,19 It is therefore recommended that rehabilitation professionals monitor patient status for significant changes in presentation while implementing a protocol with criteria for progression ...
Common basketball injuries range from chronic overuse injuries such as lateral epicondylitis to acute fracture and dislocation and even infectious processes such as infected olecranon bursitis.

The cross-education effect may be useful for dealing with unilateral disorders due to fracture [23], ligament injury [17], and hemiplegia [11]. However, this may not be always the case, since Zult et al. [33, 34] reported that quadriceps resistance training of the non-operated leg of ...
Elbows with previous trauma, including elbow dislocation and fracture (n = 17); deformities, includ- ing cubitus varus and valgus (n = 11); synovial plica and osteochondral defect on MRI (n = 5); and previous surgery for lateral epicondylitis (n = 7) were excluded. The mediolat- eral ...
Tennis elbow is typically diagnosed by a physical exam, though diagnostic imaging may be administered to rule out other types of elbow or forearm injuries that produce similar symptoms, such as a bone chip/fractured elbow, arthritis, stress fracture(s) of the forearm or upper arm, or nerve en...
Postoperative Protocol The patient is initially splinted in 60 degrees ofelbow flexionfor 10 to 14 days. After the initial period of immobilization, the sutures are removed, and the patient is transitioned into a hingedelbow brace. At this point, passive range of motion (ROM) is initiated from...
Fracture and dislocations are commonly seen in the individuals. Careful evaluation is must before treatment. Physical therapy plays an important role in recovering functional activities. Methods/Design: The study will be designed as a Randomized Control Trial. Total 20 participants wil...
