The diagnosis of an<unk>  is made after taking the persons history, which usually includes a history of forearm pain following trauma, and then examining the injured forearm followed by an x-ray of the relevant part. Types Fractures of the<unk>  can occur at different levels of the bone: near the wrist, in the middle or near the elbow. The fracture may be confined to the<unk>  or accompanied with damage to the radius or the wrist or elbow joints. * Nightstick fracture is a fracture of the middle portion of the<unk>  without other fractures. * Distal<unk> s typically occur along with distal radius fractures. * Hume fracture - a fracture of the olecranon with an associated anterior dislocation of the radial head. * Monteggia fracture - a fracture of the near to elbow end of the<unk>  with the dislocation of the head of the radius at the elbow joint. * Galeazzi fracture - not a fracture of the<unk>  but a displaced fracture of the radius accompanied by a dislocation of the<unk>  at the wrist, where the radius and<unk>  come together.
