    Re: Scar tissue stuck to Operation site after Modified Weaver Dunn. Help??

    scar tissue tethering can be common enough after certain procedures. during yours and many other procedures the surgeon has to cut through soft tissue be it skin, fascia, ligament, muscles etc. these tissues then begin to heal in a haphazard fashion post op. your arm was immobilised for 6 weeks in a sling so the soft tissue has been healing in a shortened position if you get my drift, it hasnt been moved and stretched and put through the range of movement that it will need to move through. i dont know about it being "stuck to the bone". scar massage helps to break down the scar tissue fibres that are healed/healing in a this haphazard fashion and helps to reallign them. ultrasound may also help. a combination of the scar massage, +/- ultrasound and planty of range of movement exercises will stress the scar tissue and help to remodel it. this type of tissue responds to the stresses placed on it and over time should become more pliable and less tight becoming less of a problem with regard movement.
