Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

I am sorry to hear that you fractured your arm. Now that you are cleared to start therapy you should be able to regain your ROM in about 4-8 weeks depending on your commitment to therapy. Work diligently on the ROM exercises and you should regain your entire ROM soon.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
