Yikes... my elbow felt a twinge of pain looking at that. What happened exactly, what's the extent of the soft tissue injuries, and what does the recovery timeline look like?
Gnarly dude! Wish I still had the x-ray from when I broke my Ulna and Radius in half, my forearm was “S” shaped.

Horizontal dyno finishes to a sloper/pseudojug at the lip of the cave. Caught it but lost friction as my legs swung sideways so I fell while rotating and my arm ended up straight underneath me. Bad form I know but it all happened so quick I couldn't have helped it
I had the same injury, x-ray, and method of injury. I was climbing 25% again in about 4 weeks, 75% in 6, and nearly 1 year before I felt comfortable really cranking on that arm. PT was not very helpful after the first visit. After a week just keep trying to straighten with your other arm as pain allows...a little suffering is good for us. Acupuncture and E-Stem seemed to speed up my recovery. I chose a more natural option over the prescribed narcotics for pain relief but you do you.
