Arm Fracture Picture

Complete list of fracture information

The arm and wrist are the most common areas for fracture. This is
because we use our arm to catch us when we fall. It is also a common area to
receive a blow or other type of trauma. You see these types of fractures in
accidents, on the sports field ,or in accidents such as car or bike and with any
kind of fall where you use your arm to catch yourself. Unfortunately one of the
most common causes is child abuse. There are three bones in the arm which are
the humerus, radius and ulna. You can see the location of these in the picture
to the right. The ulna is the most common of arm fractures since it is the
thinnest. The picture to the above right shows a compound fracture to the arm.
Most fractures to the arm are just cracks in the bone.
