Elbow & Forearm Fractures

Elbow & Forearm Fractures


An elbow fracture is a term for a break in the bones that contribute to form the elbow joint. Elbow fractures are most commonly seen in both the older and younger population and are normally the result of a crush trauma like a car accident, a direct blow to the elbow or high impact from falling onto an outstretched hand.

The trauma causes a very intense immediate sharp pain around the fracture site this pain can radiate up into the upper arm, shoulder and down the forearm into the wrist and hand. The fracture is often accompanied by swelling and bruising and aggravated by most arm or hand movements this makes weight bearing or lifting with the effected hand excruciating.

Osteoarthritis in the Elbow

Osteoarthritis in the Elbow


Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative disorder that is also referred to as joint degeneration but you will probably have heard most people use the term "joint wear & tear".

Symptoms initially start as mild elbow pain and stiffness. The pain is likely to feel generalized rather than a pin point pain location. Gradually as the joint becomes more and more degenerated the joint pain symptoms will be coupled by intense stiffness leading to severe stiffness and painful joint locking.

Dislocated Elbow

Dislocated Elbow


A dislocated elbow is the term to describe the displacement of the ulna and radius (forearm bones) from the humerus (the upper arm bone). In essence it is when your elbow has popped out of its socket. Elbow dislocations are normally the result of traumatic falls or impacts against the elbow in adults and a pulled elbow is quite common in young children under five.

Symptoms include a severe pain around the elbow joint and down into the forearm and hand. There will most likely have been a pop or tearing noise at the time of dislocation. Your arm will feel limp and weak from the elbow down and any movement of the forearm and hand will aggravate the already intense pain levels.
