I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Supracondylar humerus fractures often heal within 4 weeks from start of treatment (either surgery or casting). After your child has his or her cast removed, it may take 4 weeks for the child to be able to move the elbow normally. In rare cases, your child may require physical therapy to help regain strength and motion. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
