Does anyone else have Congenital Radial Head dislocations?

Or know anyone with?
I was born with what I used to call crooked elbows and I somewhat limited mobility in my arms. I finally saw a specialist when I was 33 and that's what she called it and said there are lot's of cases of it. I have seen stuff on the net in medical journals, but I have never known anyone else with this.

I have had one patient with it. The ligament attaching the radial head to the proximal ulna can sometimes not develop fully. An increased angle in the elbow can make it worse. Have your doctor send you to a physical therapist to give you exercises to strengthen the arms to decrease it from happening.
