After elbow surgery, the time it takes to regain full range of motion can vary depending on several factors, including the specific type of surgery performed, individual healing abilities, and adherence to rehabilitation exercises. On average, it may take several weeks to a few months to regain full range of motion. However, it's important to follow the guidance of your surgeon and physical therapist for a personalized recovery timeline.

About 4-12 weeks with PT/OT or else it can take longer.
I recommend consulting a physical therapist or if you are in the New York area I would recommend King David center for your rehab. They have a state of the art robotics program.
There is no set in stone time frame for recovery. It depends on a number of factors including the quality of the tissues involved.
