Sometimes an operation to repair a broken elbow is the best choice. This is particularly true if there is an open or compound elbow injury. An open elbow injury means that one or more of the bones at the elbow has come through the skin. The bone needs to be put in place, and to be thoroughly cleaned so infection does not occur. This is generally performed by a orthopaedic surgeon. In certain cases it can be treated just with medication.
