  3. Elbow fracture. To get back to normal?

Elbow fracture

2016-07-23 05:28:43
I had a surgery 2 months back. Have been taking physiotherapy sessions regularly. The doctor advised me to stop physio and do normal elbow exercises at home. My hand cannot perform full movement. It is bend at 20 degrees less. How long will it take for my hand to get back to normal? I'm really worried if my hand will ever perform full movement. I have attached post surgery x rays.
