Elbow fractures involve a break in one or more of the three bones that make up the elbow joint: the humerus, radius, and ulna. These fractures commonly result from falls, direct impact, or excessive force on the elbow. Symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty moving the elbow. Treatment may involve immobilization with a splint or cast, and in severe cases, surgery may be necessary to realign the bones. Rehabilitation and physical therapy are important for restoring strength and function to the elbow after a fracture.
