Had elbow dislocation(no frc),closed reduced by surgeon 80 days back.elbow can be straightened 95% as before but small swelling on elbow still notgone?

Swelling: This is not an unexpected result. Keep trying to improve the range of motion. You probably have a small bursitis reaction in the elbow and some fluid from that. It could be drained via needle, but it would probably come back.
