How soon can i fly fish after elbow replacement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
6-12 weeks: It takes about 6 weeks for all of the soft tissues to heal after surgery. Then you have to regain strenght in the arm. Typically, total elbow arthroplasty (tea) requires a lifting restriction but motion should be unlimited.
