Fractures
How common are elbow fractures?
Elbow fractures are common childhood injuries, accounting for about 10% of all childhood fractures. They are typically caused due to trauma, particularly through falls and blows directly to the outstretched arm or elbow.
In many cases, a simple fracture will heal well with conservative cast treatment. However fractures in which the pieces of bone are significantly out of place may require surgery. Other structures in the elbow-such as nerves, blood vessels, and ligaments-may also be injured when a fracture occurs and may also require treatment.
