arthrofibrosis in elbow
Hello,

My name is Victor and I’m 32 old. In December 2003 I was involved in a car accident and I ended up with a broken shoulder and luxation in elbow. It followed a shoulder surgery and my arm was completely immobilized for 6 weeks. After this period I experienced restricted motion range in elbow: extension 25°, flexion 110°. The doctors diagnosed me with ARTHROFIBROSIS and OSSIFICATION and told to try regain the normal range of motion by an aggressive physiotherapy but although I enforced my arm, it did not work so that, in July 2004 I needed a surgery at elbow. Now my range of motion is: extension 15° , flexion 100°.
Is there any method to kill the fibre tissue inside the elbow ?
Can anybody help me to regain the full range of motion ?


Many thanks,
victor

Allows full dexterity of the fingers and thumb, yet limits wrist flexion. Longer length for greater wrist control and increased immobilization. Latex Free.
