    Dr. Keith Hechtman of Baptist Health South Florida answered:

    A fractured elbow is a break that involves one or more of the bones that work together to form the elbow joint. Because three bones make up the elbow -- the humerus in the upper arm, and the radius and ulna in the forearm -- there are a number of places where the elbow can break or crack.
