Based on your X-ray and symptoms, this appears to be a Radial Head Fracture – Type I, which is a stable, non-displaced fracture this type of injury commonly causes pain during forearm rotation rather than on direct pressure. Surgery is usually not required, and recovery is managed conservatively. A sling can be used for comfort for about 7–10 days, but prolonged immobilization should be avoided gentle elbow movement should be started early within pain limits to prevent stiffness most patients recover well within 4–6 weeks with near-normal elbow function.
