A member asked:
Can a broken wrist cause me to not able to bend my elbow?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes, especially with rotation of the forearm, involvement of the interosseous membrane. There may also be an associated elbow fracture--if tender at elbow consider forearm xray that includes 2 good perpendicular views of the elbow.
