Hi,
You can injure your elbow in a variety of ways, from overuse (athletic injuries) to an acute traumatic event (a fall or direct blow). Some common events that result in elbow fractures are these:
When you fall backward off a snowboard, for example, you may attempt to brace the fall with your arm outstretched and your hand open.
High-energy trauma can occur in an automobile or motorcycle collision.
