My mother, 62 years old, had (9 weeks ago) a fracture just below the right shoulder, it was immobilized for 5-6 weeks, after that her right hand fingers got enflated and still are. Is that normal?

Yes at this stage, it is normal to have swelling and oedema in the wrist and hand. She must start physiotherapy after of course making a new visit to an orthopedist surgeon for clinical exam and X-RAY . So we can be sure that the fracture is healed withouth and secondary displacement.
