Question: What are the treatment options for treating this elbow fracture?

What a nasty break, can you say what the mechanism of injury was? How did a fracture like that take place?
Chrysalis: this break commonly occurs because of a FOOSH (fall on outstretched hand) or direct blow to the elbow). i am not sure how this one occurred. i pulled it from a E-Medicine article.
Interesting. I think of a fracture to the collar bone from an outstretched hand. I started to say I'd never seen one of these, but I have, it also accompanied a dislocation of the shoulder. You jogged my memory! I'm rusty...hope you can bare with me. It's so true you don't use it you loose it.
Because ELBOWS DON'T HAVE MAPS! :)
