Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. As you had surgery 10 years back with screws and plates in the elbow, my first doubt here is, is the plate and screws removed. If not than it has to be done for which you can discuss in person with an or tho. Also, when you have pain in the wrist and not able to even pick a ball then the motor and sensory nerves needs an assessment since you had a past injury which was treated with the screws and plates. As the muscles must have been weaker.Also, usually with simple physical therapy the strength is regained back, and muscle re-education is provided by physical therapy. In case if the screws and plates are not removed I will strongly recommend getting it removed as it will lead to restrictions in the overall growth of the bone and muscle system.
