Studying the X-rays more closely, it looks very much as though the fracture was a result of the ulna being driven upwards at the elbow and splitting the lower end of the humerus (your medical followers will know the 'correct' terms) - a bit like a wedge into the end of a log - no wonder it (the operation) took so long and the arm to recover.<br />Much more than any old fracture.<br />Maybe we should all invest in elbow pads as well as knee pads, helmets and . . . - cricket kit could be useful all round - the image arises of you in whites with a bat instead of an ice axe and stumps instead of poles: what would BP have to say !<br />Useful when you reach the well-padded southern shires you admire so much - you would merge into the scene like a native.<br />gimmernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-12630577034941791922017-08-12T23:14:00.688+01:002017-08-12T23:14:00.688+01:00gimmer - you must be joking!

All parties agree that it will never get back to normal but some further improvement is most likely, and anyway I'm happy to settle for it as is, but that does not mean I am giving up on exercises that will hopefully gain some further improvement.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-64532744962262307812017-08-12T23:04:46.274+01:002017-08-12T23:04:46.274+01:00pretty clear now why your extension and flexion is...pretty clear now why your extension and flexion is limited and feels 'blocked'<br />and I agree that they need to dismantle it and try again - never mind the patient <br />but after you complete your expedition<br />bon voyagegimmernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-62309161153919353222017-08-12T16:42:27.630+01:002017-08-12T16:42:27.630+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Phreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-9112989936234511832017-08-12T16:42:14.604+01:002017-08-12T16:42:14.604+01:00Very good Conrad.
