This joint further expands to forearm in which extrinsic hand muscles control the movement of wrist. Fracture or muscle tear can lead to pain & non-functional elbow joint. In Olecranon fracture, elbow may become stiff causing massive pain & restricted movement. It is easy to diagnose & spot fractures & dislocations with help of X-Rays.
