How do you know if you have fractured your elbow?

Your healthcare provider will perform an examination and ask you questions about your symptoms. They will also:

• Feel around the elbow to see if there are other areas of tenderness.
• Check your skin for cuts from bone fragments.
• Check your pulse at the wrist to make sure there is good blood flow to your hand and fingers.
• Check your range of motion.
