Ouch. That sounds incredibly painful. If you shatter your elbow, how do they fix it? Once it's in little pieces like the 250 you say they removed, what is left? I'm envisioning something like glass where once it's broke you can't go back to the way it was.
My impression was, he took the pieces out in a lengthy operation, didn't put in a plate and let what remained heal (whatever that means).
The arm, with many other breaks (non compound) was put in a shoulder to hand cast for 7-8 weeks and then therapy started.
The cast on my right leg (thigh to foot) was on until November
