Medical Animation. Fracture of the elbow in children

Медицинская анимация. Перелом локтя у детей

If your child has a fractured elbow or an olecranon, it means there is a crack or break in the bony tip directly under the skin. The most common cause is a fall or a direct blow to the elbow. If the fracture is at the growth plate near the ends of the bone, bone growth can be affected and may require special X-rays or other tests. Young bones are more flexible than the adults, so a childs bone may crack or buckle without a clear break, instead of snapping like a dry stick. If the joint is dislocated, it will have to be put back into alighnment. Surgery may be needed to repair the bone if a larger part is broken, or the break is in the joint itself. Depending on the injury, a fractured elbow may be treated with casts or splints for 4-8 weeks. Your child will also be given a sling to support the elbow.

@PimpMatt0 Me too I have fallen from everything even from stairs, and I only get scratches and/or a pain that last almos a day some times 1 hour.

I fell off my ripstik and u just discovered that my elbow is fractured. Yay I guess. Ugh it hurts

[PimpMatt0]

I'm surprised I have never broken a bone. I've fallen on my wrist, my ankle, my elbows, nees, face, and back. Most of time I just get a few scratches here and there with pain that will last about a day.

I most have some strong freaking bones o.o last time I had fallen my elbow and the side of my hip when I fell forward my skateboard and it broke the fall a little. Could have hit my face straight forward.

Having suffered this injury i would really like to understand what is being said here as it looks informative, how about some english subtitles which would get the information out to much wider audience helping a huge amount of people to understand better.
