Hi well i do feel for you as i see this sort off injury quite alot,when you go along to the Fracture Clinic you will be seen by the Ortho Consultant or a Ortho Reg he will examine you and probably send you for more x-rays,depending how bad the broken fracture is they will either put you in a plaster cast above arm cast just under the arm pit to your knuckles this will stop the fracture from moving even more,or you will have to have a operation to pin the bone which has separated from your elbow then maybe a cast to,or they will keep you out off a cast and no op just a sling,all these depend how bad the elbow is.What ever happens you will be ok, and you will get bck to normal in a few mths time.Good Luck.

When i did mine, i couldn't have a cast, because if set in one place i would of lost total mobility of my elbow for the rest of my life. trust me, having a cast is annoying, but much better(its amazing how much support they give. I've broken lots of bones =) loads of fun)
'bout six weeks later, physiopherapy started, V. painfull.
@ the end of physio, i was told I would never be able to completely starighten my arm again. I just kept on doing what i was doing with the therapist and within another six weeks or so i had full mobility of my elbow again. Completley worth the pain. remeber that during physio.
Still got the 'chip' floating about in there tho...
goes 'click' sometimes.
Your lucky you didn't break your scaphoid (a small bone in the wrist) I was told that'll never heal. two yrs on looks like the white-coats where right =(

If something, the frenzy-united statesmight want to probable worsen the project. Elbow soreness even as understanding isn't wide-spread. talk with a health practitioner who's conscious about events and repetitive-action injuries: That feels like Tennis Elbow, or something similar. solid success!

Oh they'll put it in a cast anyway and depending on the seriousness might have to operate. Ow you poor girl, get well soon, I'm cringing here imagining the painyou must be in.
GOOD LUCK!

They'll probably probe you with pins and it'll be uber painful, then you'll have to be in a whole body cast for 18 years and drink your dinner through a straw.
Only joking!!! :---D
