Let them move: Early range of motion and rehabilitation after fixation of medial epicondyle fractures in adolescent athletes
Medial epicondyle fractures account for 11%-20% of pediatric elbow fractures. While nonoperative treatment is effective, surgery is often recommended for overhead athletes to enhance union rates, valgus stability, and expedited return to sporting activities. Postoperative recovery protocols vary, with traditionally up to 2 weeks of strict immobilization and rehabilitation lasting 6-12 months. This study evaluates the early range of motion (ROM) and accelerated rehabilitation in high-performing youth athletes undergoing surgical fixation.
Removing the sling reduces pain immediately after shoulder surgery
A broad arm sling is traditionally applied following shoulder surgery for protection of repair and ‘for comfort’. It has never been proved however that the use of a sling actually leads to reduced pain. The aim of our prospective study was to quantify a patient's immediate post-surgical pain with and without a sling, with the hypothesis being that it is in fact more comfortable not to have it on.
