surgery

Does your gym require documentation to come back after an injury - personal and or gymnastics related? Sprains and being sore are common. But what about injuries requiring surgery and/or needing bracing/boots/crutches? Is there a uniform standard for returning after an injury/ surgery or is...

Hi my son is having to take about 6 weeks off gymnastics for surgery recovery. He is currently refusing to have the surgery if it means missing any gymnastics....obviously, he will have it done but does anyone have advice about how to reduce his fear he'll forget his skills and just generally...

My daughter has been cleared to start the long journey back to gymnastics after surgery to repair ACL/Meniscus. Her surgeon says she must wear a brace when she gets back to the gym. I've been researching athletic braces and I'm looking for feedback between a Donjoy or an Osssur brace and...

First of, I am not asking for medical advice. I am interested in hearing what anyone knows, if any, of the procedure above; either using an artifical ligament, a cadaver ligament or fibertape. I can go into more detail if anyone has personal experience or their daughter has had this procedure...

My daughter had surgery to fix her broken radius a year ago. Her scar still hurts if rubbed or bumped. She’s finally at a level where (non dowel) grips are being used. But she can’t wear them because even with the wrist bands, it rubs and hurts. Any suggestions on padding that area to keep...

Those of you that have been there -what was the recovery like from an elbow area injury that resulted in 4-5 weeks of imobiliazation? DD has surgery, and is recently out of her cast. She is making good strides lengenthening her arm to straight. Still a long way to go, but progesss for sure in...

Hi! New here and this is my first post. My 10yo dd was recently prescribed orthotics by a podiatrist. At this last appt we were discussing her being in the gym 16hrs a week and how the orthotics would do her no good unless she was wearing them. Our next step would be subtalar arthroeisis(sp?)...

I know there have been several threads about elbow dislocation and associated surgery to reattach the medial epicondyle. I've responded to one with my kiddo's story & it's pretty typical (over-rotation of back tuck on tramp - put arm out when bailing - dislocation of elbow w/ surrgery to...

10 days ago....something involving the tumble track and the pit happened. She tore her Deltoid ligament off the bone and that coupled with a previous sprain equals a clean up, restabilize the ankle surgery. This should prevent chronic instability but hard for a MOM to get through. We are...

So after a very long summer and talking to 4 different doctors, DD has been diagnosed with pretty bad elbow OCD. Getting surgery in several weeks for it, but best case scenario she will only miss this season. Even worse, the prognosis is bad enough that the doctor has told us she may never be...

Hi Just wandered if anyone had any similar experiences and could give any advice. My daughter broke her medial epicondyl in May and had surgery on her elbow. She was heartbroken as she wasn't allowed to do sport at school or go to dance as well as missing her beloved gymnastics. In August she...

My daughter dislocated both elbows and had surgery with 3 pins in each elbow. We have not been given the go ahead to get back into gymnastics she is only conditioning and doing skills that do not require arms. Just wondering what our odds are getting back in and how hard mentally/physically it...

We had to be there bright and early (6am) surgery should start around 7:45 I'm hungry, I don't care about the surgery, I just want food. I'm a little sad because this is my first year ever that I have to miss team camp. That's my favorite week of the whole summer. But if everything goes well...

Guess who gets to have surgery! I've gone to the doctor many times in the last month trying to figure out what was wrong with my foot. And on Monday I went to a specialist and today it was decided that I was going to have surgery. It hasn't been officially scheduled but as of now I should have...

There is a very high likelihood that I will be getting knee surgery for my reoccurring dislocated patella, torn MCL, and torn ACL. Has anyone ever experienced this? Any gymnasts who have gotten it, or parents or coaches of gymnasts? I am aware that everyone's recovery is different, but could...

My 11 yr old level 9 is having hand surgery Sept 12th. She has a fracture of the hook of the hamate bone (one of the carpal bones) that isnt healing on its own so they have to cut the fractured piece off(excision) . She will be casted 1 week and then therapy, total recovery 6-8 weeks mainly to...

My daughter has just been told she has a fracture in her hand (hamate bone ) and the treatment is surgery! We are very concerned that its going to be hard for her to return to gymnastics. She is an 11 year old level 9. Dr says she will be able to return .. Anyone have any experience with this...

Hey guys, it's been forever since I've posted! I'm having my wisdom teeth removed on Friday (all 5 of them... Long story...) and I was wondering, I have gym on Monday. Do you guys think it's okay to go back to gym Monday and do everything normally? Has anyone ever experienced this firsthand and...

On Friday my DD had surgery for her elbow OCD. Everything went great. The dr. only had to do the micro fracture (the drilling). She had no cartilage damage, and there were no broken bone fragments. It was the best case scenario. She is in a splint now for a week and a lf and then she will...
