Should I wait till 6 weeks for physiotherapy?

First of all you should share proper history of your problem with pre and post operative x-ray. I would like to say that time and level of physiotherapy depends on many factors,like type of fracture, mode and stability of fixation of your fracture. 15 days is a short period to cause dat much stiffness at your elbow. So it's better to consult in detail with investigations.
