russian rocket Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Hey guys, i know this is a pretty long shot and im sure ill get plenty of flak for this but i was curious if there were any mri specialist on this forum who would be interested in looking at an mri in their spare time. this would be completely off the record and i would not hold you liable for anything. small back story is that i fell off a ladder in january and sustained a radial head fracture in my left elbow. its been a slow recovery and while the muscle pain in the forearm is gone, i have a good amount of pain in the joint. at my last xray, there was something strange in the joint that the doc could not explain. after an mri, the techs could not find anything abnormal. i plan on getting a second opinion outside of anyone in lima, in the mean time i was seeing if anyone would be interested in taking a look and see if you can see anything different from what the mri tech at OIO in lima saw. if anyone that is qualified in the field is interested, i can email you the mri file along with all my xrays. here is one of the slices from my mri, i was curious since i am no expert in this, but on the radial head on the left side, towards the top, does that look normal, the black line. http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/kliped/bone_zpsg4axsgbn.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirks5oh Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 That's the old fracture line in your radial head. It's healed and completely non-displaced. My brother is a hand/wrist/elbow surgeon in Columbus. Let me know if you want to see him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sledhead36 Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 I would follow Kirk and get a second opinion for a upper extremity specialist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evan9381 Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 If Kirk's brother can't get you in, Brent Bickel is amazing (and was recommended to me by Kirk). I broke my wrist and he did amazing work and was awesome to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
