Ladder fail from low hight

Posted By Dave4451

"Ladder fail from low hight"

About: Lincoln County Hospital / Trauma and orthopaedics

(as the patient),

I fell of a ladder from about the 2nd step falling onto my elbow, dislocating it badly and braking bones. After 2 operations I am still unable to bend my arm pasted the L shape, just had my 3rd op to have metal removed praying I can get back driving and bending soon.
