broken elbow
(2 discussions)
My daughter(8) broke her elbow(humourus bone) and had it in a half cast for 3 weeks. It’s been off now for a little over a week and she still can’t straighten out her arm. What excersises should we be doing? Thank you.

May PT
I HIGHLY recommend that you ask your doc for PT script and get your daughter there ASAP. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to stretch the tissue. And she will hate you when she is an adult with a contracted elbow.

my son (7) had a supracondylar fx and has been out of his cast for about a week and a half, out of his sling for three days. he can’t straighten his elbow yet so I was just wondering what to expect and what I can do to help him. I know it takes a while for full range of motion but how long is a while? what do I tell him?
