What Could Taking Ligaments From Somewhere Else For 3rd Surgery Of Torn Ligaments In Shoulder Mean?
Hi..I have torn ligaments in my shoulder..this will be my 3rd surgery and I was told they would have to possibly take ligaments from somewhere else..does this make sense and would my calf be a possibility..I am confused as to what to do..my last surgery left me with radial and ulna nerve palsy in my hand and the feeling is getting worse as the time goes on..can you suggest anything I can do and what do I need to look for with my dr. Thank you.
