Distal Humerus Fractures of the Elbow

Distal humerus fracture is a rare condition which occurs when there is break in the lower end of the humerus. A distal humerus fracture may result due to a fall. This occurs more often when you land directly on your elbow during the fall or when you get struck by a hard object. It can also happen when you fall on your outstretched arm with the elbow locked straight.
