How long does it take elbow to straighten like normal aftr dislocation.elbow was reduced back by closed reduction by ortho surgeon?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not too long: Unless there was bony/joint damage you should regain full motion-usually, if this was the first dislocation, should be immobilized for about three weeks, then start PT or at least discuss with your doctor appropriate exercises
