My son is almost 4. He broke his elbow on July 30th. There was no healing after 3 weeks. They went in a put in to pins. Just got them out yesterday after having them in for a month. There is still not much healing going on. Has anyone else heard of this or gone through this before?

Answers:
Elbows are one of the 2 most difficult breaks to heal properly. There is an excellent chance that the elbow will never be perfect. I've seen many broken elbows while in school, and they take a very long time to heal sometimes. Often, broken elbows will require several surgeries to gain the best possible outsome for the patient. Be patient with the doctors. I'm sure they're doing all they can do to heal your son. It takes several sateges of surgery sometimes to heal these complex breaks, it simply cannot be done in a short period of time.
