The elbow joint is made up of bone, bone does break

Sorry Arsen but you DID say it was a bone, LOL! Anyway, as a medical professional, you would not be breaking the actually joint. First you would break the capsule (filled with synovial fluid) that surrounds the joint. Then the you would have ligamentous and tendon tears almost simultaneously. After this point if the hinge joint was lined up right you might break the trochlea of the humerus, which is received into the semilunar notch of the ulna, or the capitulum of the humerus which articulates with the fovea on the head of the radius. I hope that this answers your question. BTW...I know because I have treated this on 3 separate occasions.
