Fractures/Dislocation Elbow

A break or dislocation of the elbow joint, usually from a fall onto an outstretched arm or direct trauma, requiring prompt, careful treatment.

An injury that needs prompt, careful treatment.

A fall onto an outstretched arm or direct trauma to the elbow can cause a fracture or dislocation. Elbow dislocations can also involve associated nerve or blood vessel injuries, which makes prompt evaluation important.

X-rays can reveal most fractures and dislocations, though small breaks are sometimes difficult to see. Because proper joint function depends on how well the bone heals, these injuries need to be treated right away and with careful attention.
