If that is the case, sounds like a pinched ulnar nerve. Depending on the damage to the nerve he may never have a 100% recovery. My ulnar nerve was pinched a few years ago. Had surgery to release the nerve and it was not fully successful to heal the nerve.
Ben may never have feeling in parts of his elbow as they may have to cut a nerve in the way to release the ulnar. Muscles can be removed. Structural integrity is compromised. Feeling in fingers may or may not come back. I believe this will force Ben to retire.
