The acute rupture occurs in collisions when the elbow is in flexion such as that in a wrestling match or a tackle in football. The ulnar collateral ligament distributes over fifty percent of the medial support of the elbow. [16] [17] This can result in an UCL injury or a dislocated elbow causing severe damage to the elbow and the radioulnar joints.
Olecranon fracture is a fracture of the bony portion of the elbow. The injury is fairly common and often occurs following a fall or direct trauma to the elbow. The olecranon is the proximal extremity of the ulna which is articulated with the humerus bone and constitutes a part of the elbow articulation. Its location makes it vulnerable to ...
Elbow: Posterior dislocation, 90% of all elbow dislocations [29] Wrist: Lunate and Perilunate dislocation most common [30] Finger: Interphalangeal (IP) or metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint dislocations [31] In the United States, men are most likely to sustain a finger dislocation with an incidence rate of 17.8 per 100,000 person-years.

The New York Giants' abysmal season took yet another big hit on Thursday, as star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence dislocated his elbow and will be out the rest of the year.

For reference, 25–30 grams of fiber is the recommended daily amount for adults. Foods with at least 3 grams of fiber per 100 grams can be considered a "good source" of fiber, according to some ...
Radial head fractures are a common type of elbow fracture that typically occurs after a fall on an outstretched arm. [1] They account for approximately one third of all elbow fractures and are frequently associated with other injuries of the elbow. [2] [3] Radial head fractures are diagnosed by a clinical assessment and medical imaging.
Osteosynthesis (open reduction and internal fixation) of the ulnar shaft is considered the standard of care in adults. It promotes stability of the radial head dislocation and allows very early mobilisation to prevent stiffness. [5] The elbow joint is particularly susceptible to loss of motion. [citation needed]
