In reply to luke obrien:
Two years ago, I suffered a radial head fracture of my right elbow. I was involved a cycling accident and my bike landed on top of me (I don't remember much of it but this is the info from a witness).
I was given lots of conflicting advice, and undertook some basic physio to try and get back to shape again. I can climb again, but long term implications, for me at least, include the following:
I can lift a bag with my right arm, but cannot lower the arm without placing the bag in other hand.
Down climbing involves additional techniques now to get around the same problems.
You will find, after research, that the radial head has still not properly formed until you reach your early twenties. This may or may not be a positive factor in your daughters' recovery.
I would HIGHLY recommend buying Dave Macleod's new book 'Make or Break'. Also, talk to the best physio climbing elbow specialist you can find who has significant experience in treating youngsters. Talk to a pediatric surgeon if you can. The trick is, as I understand now, to research the EXACT problems as best you can, come up with a recovery plan with a specialist consulational talk, and then stick to it religiously. I did not do this, and regret it.
Hope this helps in some marginal way. My advice is useless in some respects because all recoveries will require an individualized plan. Even if two people have had the same diagnosis, the method by which they gained the injury and the diagnosis will be completely different. Best of luck - in my time as a sports instructor, I am always amazed at the speed by which young people recover.
