kamikaze Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 and then designers wonder why motorbike brake levers have those little balls on the tips, and think its not applicable to mtb's

mudda Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Broke my radius head (in elbow) on Saturday. Sitting in a cast at the moment. Will know on Friday if they will operate.Yep that happend to me about 5 weeks ago. Lucky no cast. One stupid pedestrian. Need I say more ? My advise to you is, discuss with your doc and see how soon you can straighten you arm. Mine was in a semi cast for +- 2 weeks. I am working on straightening my arm. You may find this is the biggest problem, and is an area where you are going to do a lot of rehab. Very frustrating to be carrying watermelons under the arm I am hoping that I will be able to straighten my arm soon.

In semi-cast for 2 more weeks then I will start with straitening exercises. I am beyond frustrated with myself at this point.

If it was anything like my m/cycle accident - shattered elbow just below the join - it took around 3 months of physio and I still have a loss of around 5 deg from straight. I have learnt to live with it but all that is limiting the full 180 deg (straight out) is my bicep. I was in a cast for a long time so my tricep and bicep stiffened and 'lost elasticity' if that makes sense.
