ELBOW FRACTURE AND ITS CONSEQUENCES

Updated 4/25

Scenario: Sara slipped and fell while playing tennis.
She was transported to the Emergency Room, for 
further evaluation. X-Ray of her elbow revealed 
a fracture. 

The elbow has a hinge joint. There are three bones
that make up the elbow : humerus, radius and ulnar.

Volkmann's contracture may further complicate a
fractured elbow. Poor circulation (ischemia) may
occur during the healing process.
