Hey gcoe
Thanks for your response, you have been helpful
Just thought I would give a quick update...
Patient has now been out of cast for 4 weeks
We have essentially regained full elbow ROM
Atrophy of extensors/flexors has visually reduced.
I have been progressing the exercises- working on strength, endurance & proprioception (extensors/flexors, bicep, tricep)
Also introduced some sport specific rehab exercises.
Hoping to get patient back within 3 weeks so he is able to play basketball finals.
One thing I wanted to mention was the patient appears to still have minor swelling around medial elbow, however there is no pain or tenderness anywhere around the elbow and it does not fell like 'fluid' on palpation (so I know its not swelling due to inflammation). Have used contrast therapy and always icing post treatment/exercises. Will this just eventually resolve..? Is there something I should try to resolve it?
Thanks again for you're help
Bobby
