Minimum 3 weeks of immobilization and the further 3 weeks with range of motion brace. Return to sports may take around 3-4 months

It would be helpful if you are more elaborative as to what happened, how it happened and what was done.
Did you dislocate your elbow or partially dislocate it? How was the elbow reduced? These are crucial questions which need to be known before any advice on your return to sports.

Consult with detailed history and complains.
