Has the external fixator been removed? Kindly revert with the latest X-rays...what you had was a complicated fracture and recovery will take time...but whether your fracture is healing well has to be seen from the latest X-ray.

Hello there,,,,Glad you uploaded your Xrayz.
Compound or open fractures are comparitively complicated fractures compared to other common occouring fractures ,,,,which heals usually within 12 weeks...
Literature suggests A grade 1 compound fracture usually take upto 10 to 15 months to heal completely.....but that depends on many factors and case to case.
Do resort back with detail reports and mri/xray for furthur advice.
Regards & take care.

X ray reveals the fracture of elbow.
In the X ray of feb still the fracture is not United.
and latest X ray has not been posted
I feel you need to have a second opinion of another good orthopaedician.
In my opinion u need a surgery again.
since its 3 months from surgery the fracture end may become non sticky n infectious.
so meet another orthopaedician immediately
as a exercise, u should do wrist and finger movements as much as possible.
Next Steps
quickly get the latest X ray done and meet any best orthopaedician.
Health Tips
Wrist n finger movements. DO NOT APPLY HOT PACKS.
