The elbow joint is a "hinge joint connecting the forearm to the arm."[1]
Physical examination
Elbow fractures can be diagnosed on physical examination by inability to full extend the elbow. The sensitivity and specificity is 92% and 61%.[2]
Treatment

Injections with corticosteroids and oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents have similar effect.[3]
