My brother just met an accident 2 days ago. He hit his elbow on the road. The next day he went to the hospital for the x ray they took it and said that it was a fracture. They put on a plaster (temporary) for some days and after that they will put the permanent plaster. He's uncertain of it because he has broken his elbow before which he had to do surgery to fix it. He is afraid if that's the same problem once again. He's got the x ray and I also need to show you that and tell me that what exactly it is. Since you are highly professional doctor I would like to know your views about the x ray and what has actually happened. Please tell me sir how can I send you the x ray? He lives in a different city and th3 doctors are not that good because the city is sort of a village. Please reply to me as soon as you can. Thank you.

Hello lybrate-user. it seems like your brother might be having an undisplaced fracture around the elbow, for which the treatment is usually non operative. I would be in a better position to answer your queries, if I could have a look at the x-ray images, which you can upload when you consult me.
