Valerie, Can you tell me more of what you ahave found out about a coronoidectomy? I think that is the surgery my ENT wants to do (with this other surgeon) although of course he didn't bother to tell me the name. I alo asked him about the risks and he was very vague. What makes it risky? Do you know what the statistics are about success?

Would you mind putting a link for that website here also? Perhaps there is a provider near me I could try to contact first before going the surgery route.
