My problem at the moment is excessive scar tissue, everything has repaired very well, but the down side of that there are alot of adhesions inside where he did the op and everything he cut has bonbed very tightly. Most people get scar tissue that restricts slight movement, some more than others! He has many other patients who have had the same op that have full or almost full range of movement well before the 6 month mark, it's totally a personal thing, cannot really be predicted unless you have had issues in the past with previous scar tissue.

As for racket sport for me personally i'd say, yes I could play, just. I don't play squash or tennis but i'd say my main issue would be putting top or bottom spin (I hope thats the right phrase hehe) on a ball as I cannot (at the moment) flick my wrist into flexion enough. I could do basic shots, but any other shot would need some sort of adaption from me as a person.

I cannot move my hand back enough to do a press up, which obviously has consequences with opening doors ect, but you adapt, I now do everything with a fist or a fist with my thumb out, I crawl with my hands in a fist position rather than palm down, etc.

But please don't be put off by my experience, most people don't end up with the amount of scar tissue I have and therefore have ALOT more motion.

I'm still glad I had it done, i'd sooner loose some motion (alot in my case) to get rid of the pain.
