Dislocated elbow --- how long do you have to wear a splint?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
About 4-6 weeks: Typically if have truly had an elbow dislocation, you will need to be immoblized for 4-6 weeks to allow soft tissue healed and prevent instability in the future after that you will likely need therapy to regain your normal motion and strength.
