How Can A Fractured Elbow Be Treated?
I fractured my elbow 3 years ago and it never healed properly due to the fact that I kept going back and forth to different doctors and it wasn t until 3 months after I fractured that I ended up seeing a specialist. is it possible to reset or re-break my elbow so that it can heal properly? I also suffer from C.R.P.S will that affect this happening?nyra

Yes, there are Orthopedic surgeons, who specilise in joint surgery who can surgically improve the movement and function of your elbow joint. Occasionally it may have to be done in two stages. It may take a few months for complete healing of the operated bones. You can be positive that being operated by the right surgeon you will regain at-least near normal functional ability of the joint.
