The elbow is the meeting place of three bones: the humerus, the ulna, and the radius. Elbow fractures are more common among children. What are their causes, symptoms, and treatment methods?<\/span><\/p>\n

Causes of elbow fractures<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Causes of elbow fractures include:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Falling on an outstretched hand or outstretched elbow is the most common cause.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Sports injuries.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Severe trauma.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Mishandling of children, such as pulling the child\u2019s arm violently.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The types of elbow fractures are divided into the following:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Fracture of the ulna.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Fracture of the radius bone.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Fracture of the humerus.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Symptoms of elbow fractures<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Symptoms of elbow fractures include:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Feeling severe pain that increases when moving the joint.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Swelling.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Bruises.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Skin protrusion of the broken bone.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Inability to move the joint.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Feeling numbness and weakness in the arm.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Diagnosis of elbow fractures<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Diagnosis of elbow fractures requires radiological imaging of the elbow using X-rays, MRI, or CT scans to determine the location and type of the fracture, and then determine the appropriate treatment method.<\/span><\/p>\n

Methods of treating elbow fractures<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are many types of fractures, such as closed fractures, open fractures, displaced fractures, comminuted fractures, split fractures, and bent fractures. Depending on the type of fracture, the treatment method is determined. In general, there are two types of treatments:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Non-surgical treatment<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is used to treat stable fractures that do not require displacement of the bone. It is done by plastering the fracture to ensure that the broken bones do not move so that they heal properly.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Surgical treatment<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Doctors resort to surgery in cases of unstable fractures, especially open fractures, where the broken bones penetrate the skin, in order to prevent infection and restore the bones to their normal state and stabilize them.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Elbow fractures are common among children, so it is recommended to handle the child’s arm gently and not pull it violently.<\/span>
