I broke my right humorous 3/4 inch above the elbow (edge of the growth 
plate) when I was five.  Spent eight weeks in traction so they did not 
have to pin it.  Never had a cast.  For my 60th, I got severe tendonitis 
in my right wrist and elbow.  Am considering surgery to resection the 
lower tendon from the right wrist to the right elbow but the surgery 
failure rate is high.  I wear a right wrist brace all the time now.

I broke both lower right leg bones in a car wreck when I was eleven, 
right above the ankle.  The right leg is a little shorter than the left 
leg.  Spent six ? eight ? weeks in a cast.
