10 Broken Elbow Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #10: Visible Break
Quite often, a broken bone will mean a hairline fracture that might only be noticed with an x-ray. The bone will generally remain straight and otherwise intact. At other times, however, the break can be more severe and it can be very noticeable indeed.
In some injuries, the joint can appear physically and severely deformed. It might also cause the bone to protrude through the skin in the area in a symptom that is not for the fainthearted. In injuries of this type, it is necessary to place the bones back into their natural positions before the healing process can begin.
