Could Broken Arm In Childhood Cause Difficulty In Rotating The Arm?
Hi, my son broke his arm 10 years ago. He has only just told us that he cannot rotate his arm so that his palm faces up, it only goes half way. he only noticed this because he started weight lifting and could not complete curls properly. We have had xrays taken and there is nothing abnormal that can be seen. any idea?

Hello,
If he has broken his arm before age of 10-11 then there may not be a problem related to history of fracture. Children has good potential of remodelling, fractures in early childhood recover well without any impact on functional capabilities.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
