Hello dear... It is quite common in operated distal humerus fractures. Functional activities usually need 30 to 135 degree, so you are having 35 to 135 degree is good. 10 to 30 degree extensor lag is common even in well operated cases... So do not worry continue physio in planned manner which may improve ROM further.... Have a good day.
