Hey guys,
My friend has just fractured his elbow in a bicycle accident on the way to work.
The doctors are going to get him into surgery in about 48 hours and in the meantime they immobilized it.
Do you have any tips or expectations on that procedure and rehab? Does it look like something with potential long-term negative effects on his function?
He’s a recreational, but elite, competitive athlete. So obviously the future function under high intensities and range of motions are main concerns.
His press PR is 145lb for 5 reps / bench 220lb for 5 reps. Healthy male, 26 years old, 6’0", weighing 172lb.

Thank you very much in advance for any input
