I had posted on here about 4 months ago about my sons elbow, and after full rst for 4 months his OCD in elbow had not healed at all, but actually got worse even with full rest. He is 15, and had surgery yesterday ~Over 4 hours surgery ~ The surgery included Right elbow arthroscopy, osteochondial fixation, drilling, open osteochondrial graft from the knee.
2 incisions on elbow, 1 on knee. He is home now, arm has nerve block from anesestia (sp?) which should last throughout the day, so arm is numb. He is in a lot of pain, especially knee area, and elbow is starting to hurt too. Go back to Dr. on Friday. Please let me know if anyone has had this procedure or something similiar, and what to expect for the next few days. Thanks in advance.
