When I was being born apparently one of the nurses had pulled on my right arm too hard and pulled it out of place. Due to my countries surgeons being trash they couldn't fix it. They instead made it to the point where my right arm cannot fully stretch out like my left and my right is always at an acute angle. I also cannot raise my right arm all the way up either. It's really been a burden growing up. I'm 18 now. I just want to understand what type of surgery that I can undergo here in the states or in any other country to fix this. Is it too late? Will I never be able to raise my right hand more than halfway? Will it not ever stretch out like my left? Is their a name of a surgery that addresses this?

Surgery is performed in much younger age. For few months after birth physiotherapy was recommended. Actually it all depends on the grade of the injury. Most common sholder injury is erb's or brachial plexus injury. I wish to know more about the case. Consult me personally for better understanding. Regards.
