Humerus fracture
Sir, I had fall in while playing in a mall 2 years ago at humerus. Doctor called it as Supra Condylar humerus fracture. I am 42 years now. Surgery was done 2 years before. X-rays of pre-surgery, post-surgery and present are enclosed. I can extend and fold my right hand. For past ten months, I am doing regular workouts which include lunges, squats, burpees, knee push-ups, dips, elbow plank, mountain climbers, inch worms, jumping jacks, sit-ups, crunches, leg raises, punches etc. in 4 days a week for30 to 40 minutes. I do not feel any pain , rather these workouts did lot of good to me in reducing cholesterol level etc. Sir, while doing knee push-ups, I can hear a 'tik' sound from elbow of my fractured right hand. Also I feel little pain while doing pushups. All other exercises are ok for me. I am worried about the sound and fear if any screws in plates are loose? Could you kindly advise if there is any cause of worry? Can I continue my workouts? Thank you.

Surgery done 2 years ago, need not be worried about anything of that. This sound can be just a tendon slip during pushups, over any bony prominence. That means, when u go in one direction, the tendon moves, when u come back tendon also comes back to original position and this makes a small tik sound. It is painful because of constant rubbing and wear & tear in a minimal intensity.
Next Steps
Apply ice packs over the area after workout, for 10-15 min, not more. If possible, avoid this particular exercise, and give rest for that tendon. apply ice twice a day to enhance healing. once u feel u ready, u can start the exercise again.
Health Tips
Consult a physiotherapist in person if pain is intolerable, can get treatment with some electrical modalities and manual therapy.
