Broken Elbow Surgery. A 32 year old member asked. Treatments with surgery when an elbow fracture is a full displacement of the bone there can be cause for surgery to put the pieces back into alignment so they heal correctly.
Sometimes there will be hardware used to hold everything in place. The radius and the ulna. If the fracture was associated with a cut in the skin open fracture.
The bone needs to be put in place and to be thoroughly cleaned so the infection does not occur.
