elbow dislocation
Joint forced apart
Elbow dislocation is an injury in which the bones of the forearm are forced out of alignment with the upper arm bone at the elbow joint.
It typically results from a fall onto an outstretched hand or direct trauma, causing visible deformity and severe pain.
Most dislocations are posterior, with the forearm bones displaced backward: The X-ray confirmed a posterior elbow dislocation.
