10 Broken Elbow Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #9: Cuts
The elbow joint is just beneath the surface of the skin. Indeed, fold your arm up and you can clearly feel the joint underneath. This also means that any contact has an increased chance of breaking the skin against the hard bone and cartilage below.
If you have broken your elbow, there is a good chance that the skin will be broken and bleeding may occur. It is important that any bleeding should be stopped as soon as possible, although this will often occur naturally anyway. The skin may be scarred, but the patient is still likely to make a full recovery regardless.
