Is nursemaid's elbow common among babies, and does it recur?

My 9-month-old daughter fell on her arm and dislocated her elbow. Her GP located it back in the socket and X-rays at the hospital showed there were no broken bones. He told me the condition was called nursemaid elbow. She still isn't moving her arm and having good use of it. How long will it take her to regain control and use of her arm after her accident? Is this common among babies, too? Also, since it has happened, will it be easy for this to recur?
