Hello All!


I just saw a patient who is extremely active - jujitsu, wrestling, weightlifting etc - who ruptured his triceps insertion and had a surgical reattachment 5 weeks ago. He would like to return to all activities and would like a brace to prevent hyperextension AND padding over the elbow for when he lands on a mat. I have seen the Townsend but have not seen anything with padding too. I am thinking about a separate elbow pad but I am not even sure what a good type is.


Any suggestions?

Thanks!
