My friend, I also had a ruptured bicep tendon that was surgically reattached. Twice:thumbdown: (I hurt it in a weird accident while still in the soft cast and had to have it redone.)So... my broken right elbow is healing. The ruptured triceps tendon is reattached and the surgeon says, "Do with it what it will do." Function is returning. Fine motor control is improving. I still can't do push-ups but soon I will be able to get back on my Vee and feel like I can control it safely.
The problem is that I don't have complete extension or flexion at the elbow, and it's not certain that I ever will have. Therefore my two arms won't be the same length. I may need a handlebar adaptation or something.
Does anyone have this problem? What is the handlebar solution?
It took a while, but I'm 100% and suffer NO loss of strength or flexibility. None. But have a cool scar...
My suggestion: get as much physical therapy as you can, even if you have to pay for it yourself. This was the KEY to my total rehab.
