Fractured elbow. X-ray of the arm of a patient with a fractured elbow. The olecranon bone (bottom left),the head of the large lower arm bone (ulna,bottom),is fractured. The elbow articulates the lower and upper arm. The bone will be immobilised,either externally,using a cast,or internally,using metal pins,to allow it to heal. It is important that a bone is correctly aligned if it is to heal properly and avoid future complications | |
