Re: Monteggia variant with orif recovery

Who's to say what is normal, but is your PT doing massage? When there is injury scar tissue forms pretty fast. During recovery PT's do deep tissue massage to break up the collagen (scar tissue formation) and to realign the collagen. Also, are they doing joint mobs? All things to consider.
