Do you know for sure the surgeon injured it did you injure it when you fractured your elbow? Did you have one surgery or two (the 2nd one to repair the nerve)?

Have you had a neurologist test your nerves with a EMG/nerve conduction study? Has the surgeon or neurologist told you if the nerve can heal or repair itself? Have you had any X-ray and MRI of your elbow to see if there is anything compressing nerves in the arm/elbow post surgery?

How did you injure your elbow? Could you have also injured your cervical spine in your neck which could also cause symptoms to your arm/hand due to compression of spinal cord/nerve roots?

You can ask the lab and your doctor who did the FNA biopsy to send your sample for molecular testing which may help fine-tune the cytology result.
