Elbow injury
(2 discussions)
In May 2014 I took a fall which fractured my left elbow. After healing for 3 months the elbow was accidently re-injured. My orthopedic surgeon suggested surgery was quite difficult due to the location of the fracture. My tricep and olecron bursa had been torn from the elbow. I am healing now, but have a small bone chip on the bone before the joint. There was no injury to the elbow joint, but the bursa sack is no longer covering my elbow. I have no real pain, but am concerned about lubrication of the joint. They said this injury was quite rare. Is there any information you can give me as to the future of my elbow? And possible surgery options? Thank you so much.

What therapy exercises should I be doing? It’s been 11days since the bone chip was taken out. I have a bubber band I’ve been carfully working with. I have’nt hit the pool or hot tub yet… I have the cast removed and the staples tacken out 3days ago.
