Thank you
Always better to ask operating Surgeon regarding postoperative management including physiotherapy.
Not to lift weight in operated hand. Start gentle range of motion in elbow.
Regards
Back slab should be removed and physiotherapy should be started asap with gradual increase in range of motion. otherwise stiffness might occur.

Mostly after 3 Weeks Back slab exchanged with arm and sling and start with protected gentle Range of motion To avoid stiffness
But Final decision will be from operating Surgeon
