Make sure there is no myositis or fracture fragments around joint,then start active elbow range of motion exercises under therapist supervision.

Plz do the CT scan of the elbow to look for the cause of restriction of the elbow movements. Usually the stiffness of due to soft tissue tightness which recovers with physiotherapy over a period of time.
