To all:
I have a 25 year old male who dislocated his right elbow 1 week ago. He has
a fixed flexion deformity (40 degrees), and has pain at the end of extension
and flexion. He went to a chiropractor, but the chiropractor said for him to
go and see a physiotherapist, so he came to me. What I want to ask is from
your experience, will he have full extension range after treatments, or is
he left with a permanent deformity??
Just for the record, I tried using Mulligan's lateral glide repositioning
technique with movement, and he achived 15 degrees extension by the end of
the session. I tapped him, but I am not sure whether this is going to last,
so it will be very interesting!
