Symptoms of ELBOW FRACTURE
Elbow fractures produce localized pain and swelling. Frequently, there is impairment of function of the joint, with restricted, or absent movement. If the adjacent nerves are injured, weakness, numbness or tingling of the forearm or hand can occur. Injuries to the arteries can lead to an absent pulse at the wrist. The forearm and hand may appear pale and cool to the touch.
