Olecranon Fracture
Definition
An olecranon fracture is a break in the bony prominence at the tip of the elbow, known as the olecranon process. This type of fracture can result from a direct blow to the elbow, a fall on an outstretched arm, or forceful contraction of the triceps muscle. It may cause pain, swelling, and limited range of motion in the affected elbow.
