Hi Depends on period since surgery. Your surgeon should be guiding on this after assessing with recent check x-rays. Wrist ,shoulder exercises are done when surgical wound heals over in 7 to 10 days post op, elbow after dislocation should be restricted for six weeks. Forearm 3 weeks postoperatively Anyway, your treating doctor should decide. Best wishes.
