elbow dislocation

An elbow dislocation occurs when the bones forming the elbow joint are forced out of their normal position, usually due to a significant injury or fall. It often causes severe pain, swelling, and inability to move the arm. The injury may involve tears in surrounding ligaments and tissues, leading to instability. Treatment typically involves repositioning the bones back into their proper place (reduction), often under medical supervision, followed by rest, immobilization, and rehabilitation exercises to restore movement and strength. Prompt medical attention is essential to prevent further damage and ensure proper healing.
