Recovery mainly depends upon how communited was the original fracture and how much is the range of movements of your elbow now. Recent xray would also help in localising the cause - whether it's a bony cause or stiffness post injury... I would advise you to follow up with your Orthopaedician and physiotherapist. The above parameters should give you the answer.
