See hand surgeon: Elbow injuries of this type are often associated with wrist injuries...And if the elbow injury was concentrated upon, a more subtle wrist injury may have been missed. Inability to pronate or supinate is not normal...You need to see a hand surgeon. http://www.assh.org/public/pages/handsurgeons.aspx good luck!

Elbow and Wrist: The forearm elbow/wrist act as a unit. So if you have a severe enough injury at the elbow it's not at all unusual to have related wrist and forearm issues. See your doctor to have him re-evaluate the forearm unit, the wrist directly, and if there are no specific anatomical issues discuss therapy if you have not already done this. Good luck.
