A member asked:
Dislocated both radial and ulna bone at the elbow joint. doc is put me in a cast for 2 weeks. does that timeframe seem normal for an elbow dislocation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It does: If it was a simple dislocation two weeks is appropriate. The elbow is one joint that can suffer loss of full function if immobilized too long.
