Broken Elbow Picture

Complete list of fracture information

There are three bones that make up the elbow. This is where
the ends of these bones meet together to form the elbow joint. The three
bones are the humerus of the upper arm and the ulna and radius of the lower
arm. A broken elbow is a crack or break at the end of any of the bones. The
areas that make up a broken elbow are pointed out in the picture. It is the
olecranon, lateral epicondyle, olecranon fossa, head of the radius and neck
of the radius.

Types of Broken Elbow

Supracondylar Fracture is a fracture at the bottom of the humerus bone, just
above the elbow joint.

Olecranon Fracture is in the tip of the elbow you can feel under the skin.

Capitellum Fracture is in the part of the elbow joint itself and forms the joint
between the radius and the humerus bones

Coronoid fracture is in the small area of bone at the front of the elbow on the
ulna bone

Radial Head Fracture is a fracture in the end of the radius called the radial
head
