An elbow fracture is a common condition where one or more elbow bones<\/a> are broken because of numerous reasons such as a fall, impact to the elbow, or a twisting injury. In most cases, an elbow fracture will recuperate naturally without the need for surgery but conservative treatment with a cast. Generally, a sprain, strain or dislocation <\/a>may also occur along with the fracture. The nerves, blood vessels and ligaments may also incur damage along with the elbow fracture and will require treatment as well.<\/p>\n
