Elbow fractures are common injuries that typically occur from falling and landing directly on one’s elbow, or from a direct hit from a hard object. Most commonly, the break occurs in the olecranon – that section of your elbow that feels like a bony point when you bend it.

Although some elbow fractures are easier to treat than others, all of them require immediate medical attention to address the complex issues that accompany these breaks.

With proper care and treatment, you will be able to minimize your time in pain and maximize your recovery time once the fracture is taken care of.
