Re: Possible fractured radial head

Not sure but I totally broke the radial head on my right arm. Surgury to try to fix it was not working so it was removed ans sharp edges cleaned up. My right hand was parilized for about 4 months while the Ulna and Radial nerves regenerated. With a ton of therapy for a LONG time everything works again. I can not straghten out the arm totally but everything else works. I say DO WHAT THE PT SAYS!!!!!
