The part you feel as your elbow is your olecranon process which is part of your ulnar. The olecranon process fits into the Olecranon fossa which is part of your humerous.

Thanks a lot for the info but may i say this, If you have ever read anything on shoulder dydtocia deleveries the doctors says that it can't cause this bone to break at all anyway shape or form but if you read online it tells you that it can cause a break but the doctors here where i live they will call you a lier and also the judge. Anyway thank you very much for your reply and i truely hope you had a Very Merry Christmas today but on this question i ask, it caused us not to have Christmas not thanksgiven this year but maybe next year i truely hope.
