The scapholunate ligament is U shaped and divided into three compartments. A complete fear of the dorsal part, results in dissociation.This is known as the Terry Thomas Sign for obvious reasons.

Answer
The anterior fat pad is usually concealed within the coronoid fossa or seen paralleling the anterior humeral line. When there is a joint effusion, the anterior fat pad (which is intra-articular, but extra-synovial) becomes elevated.
In adults: the fracture is usually of the radial head.
In children: it is usually a supracondylar fracture.
Where a fat pad is raised and no fracture is demonstrated, an occult fracture should be suspected.
