How long does it take to recover from an elbow fracture?

It takes about 3-4 months to recover from elbow fracture. Functional rehabilitation after elbow surgery should be exercised as early as possible. If exercised late, problems such as joint ankylosis, stiffness, traumatic arthritis, traumatic ossifying myositis, and muscle atrophy may occur, and patients may take oral indomethacin to reduce traumatic muscle atrophy and myositis symptoms. Patients’ functional recovery must be through the help of functional rehabilitators, and should also follow the surgeon’s medical advice, such as the fracture is relatively fragmented and not firmly fixed, it should be temporarily fixed before functional rehabilitation exercises, etc. The specific medication should be combined with the clinical situation and guided by the doctor’s face-to-face consultation.
