The easiest way to determine the presence of bone chips is to have your elbow x-rayed. If the chips are large enough, you can probably feel them "floating" around. You also may be able to feel a concave area in your elbow where the bone chipped off.

A chipped bone is just that. A piece of bone has been chipped off the main bone. This problem will often heal itself. The chipped piece will be reabsorbed and the spot where the chip came from well be filled in.
