Elbow Surgery

Dr Florkowski,

First of all, thank you for taking your time to join Jetcareers; you're input is invaluable.

Elbow surgery approaching next week. It is for a torn tendon that will require a "bone anchor" (?) to reattach. The plan is for 5 days off. If no pain meds are taken, is it required to notify an AME and will a new medical be required post-surgery?
Thank you
 
Hi Dustoff,

As long as the surgery and your postop course doesn't create a flight safety issue you can just report it at your next medical exam.

Warm Regards,

Dr Florkowski
