Extension type of<unk> s typically result from a fall on to an outstretched hand, usually leading to a forced hyperextension of the elbow. The olecranon acts as a fulcrum which focuses the stress on distal humerus<unk>  area), predisposing the distal humerus to fracture. The<unk>  area undergoes remodeling at the age of 6 to 7, making this area thin and prone to fractures. Important arteries and nerves (median nerve, radial nerve, brachial artery, and ulnar nerve) are located at the<unk>  area and can give rise to complications if these structures are injured. Most vulnerable structure to get damaged is Median Nerve. Meanwhile, the flexion-type of<unk>  is less common. It occurs by falling on the point of the elbow, or falling with the arm twisted behind the back. This causes anterior dislocation of the proximal fragment of the humerus.
