It was a bad fracture to start with. The important bone which is like a pivot for proper rolling and bending of elbow was injured so some amount of stiffness and restriction of movement is expected. Fixation is satisfactory and comply to physiotherapy instructions by operating surgeon. Slowly and steadily improvement will be seen. Removal of screws only if they protrude out at a later date after doing CT scan. If they are burried inside bone, don't even think of it
