This is NOT a post for medical advice, just wondering if anyone had dealt with this type of injury and how long was your child out?
My 9 year old daughter was doing one of her regular power tumbling passes (roundoff full whip whip full flic full punch front). This is a pass that she has done a thousand times. Somehow she misjudged her awareness from the full into the handspring and hyperextended her elbow. We iced it, but she woke up swollen and in pain that night. Took her to the orthopedic dr for an X-ray the next morning. They found a fractured growth plate on her elbow consistent with hyperextention. They put her in a full arm cast and said she would only be castes for ten days and would probably be able to return to all activities full out with no problems as tolerated. I'm sure they will give her a hyperextention elbow support of some kind....has anyone else dealt with this type of injury? What was your child's recovery time like?
