Broken Elbow Malunion

2017-12-10 12:09:56
Hi, I had broken my elbow 8 years ago. It seemed to have healed right, with a little loss of angle in extension. The doctors at that time said that it was all that could be done. after 8 years that lack of extension has become troublesome and sometimes painful if i force it to extend. I did an x-ray consulted with an orthopedic doctor. He said that there were some bone parts that weren't supposed to be there. I am 24 year old male. I'd be really grateful if i can have an opinion on the x-ray

Please post the Xrays. It might be loose bodies which can be taken by key hole surgery.
