After surgery to fix a broken elbow, sometimes doctors use metal to hold the bones together while they heal. This metal becomes part of the bone as it grows around it. Usually, this doesn't cause any problems, and most people can use their arms normally once it's healed.

But everyone's healing is different, and factors like how bad the break was and your overall health can affect it. It's important to follow your doctor's advice and do any exercises they recommend to make your arm stronger and move better.

If you have ongoing pain or trouble using your arm, talk to your doctor. They can check if everything is healing right and help you feel better.
