How long will the effects of my injury last?
Ligaments and tendons are the structures that suffer the main injury in most elbow dislocations, and often these tissues take longer to completely heal.
You can probably expect to experience pain upon certain movements of the arm, swelling, and discoloration for six weeks. But, it's not unusual for symptoms of the dislocation, particularly pain upon forceful movements of the arm, to last as long as 12 weeks. To some extent, the time to fully recover is influenced by your dedication to your rehabilitation program.
When can I return to my sport or activity?
Return to full participation should be avoided until you are symptom free and can perform all skills and other requirements of your sport without pain. To return earlier is to invite further injury to the elbow, making subsequent dislocations more likely. This is especially true when the sport involves heavy contact, such as in football or rugby.
Generally, the athlete who wishes to return to a contact sport should expect to be out of action for 6 to 12 weeks. Again, the time to return to full activity depends on the dedication toward your rehabilitation program.
Remember: the goal of rehabilitation is to return you to your sport or activity as soon as is safely possible. If you return too soon you may worsen your injury, which could lead to permanent damage. Everyone recovers from injury at a different rate. Return to your activity is determined by how soon your dislocated elbow recovers, not by how many days or weeks it has been since your injury occurred.

Geneest blijkbaar rap.
Ik herinner mij ook nog een verhaal van iemand die vorig jaar zijn elleboog ontwricht had op een EK of WK en hij lag ook te kreunen van de pijn en achter de schermen hadden ze het gewoon weer op zijn plaats gezet
zijn wedstrijd was wel voorbij, maar savonds liep die man daar al weer alsof er niets aan de hand was. Was een Rus by the way
