Brief Answer:
Surgery may be required to correct deformity

Detailed Answer:
Hi there.

Thanks for the query.

It is possible you have deformity due to bad fracture alignment or complication of fixation.

If you want to get the deformity corrected, surgery may be required to break and Re fix the bone into correct position.

If you have your Xray after surgery, kindly upload it for my opinion. Since there are different types of elbow Fractures with different rates of success of treatment. Usually it is about 70% success in correcting bad position to good position. Once I see the Xray I will be able to comment further on the success of the treatment.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Regards,

Dr. Aashish Raghu
