Some that come to mind are fracture, dislocation, bursitis, tendinitis, laceration, arthritis, infection.

The ulnar nerve runs along the ulna bone which forms part of the elbow joint. This is a large nerve that can be damaged by the dislocation of the joint. This can cause: loss of sensation, especially in your ring and little fingers, loss of coordination in your fingers, pain, tingling or burning in your hand, hand weakness, weakness that worsens with physical activity, and loss of grip strength.

In general, the term for dislocation is luxation, and a partial dislocation is subluxation.

Since you specifically asked about the elbow, there are two bones that could have been dislocated from the humerus, the radius and the ulna. Ulnar luxation is pretty rare, but radial subluxation is actually pretty common, and is easy to fix.

So the term you are probably looking for is radial head subluxation.
