The way I was taught is that if each part of the sentence can stand alone as a separate sentence, then use a comma. In your case, the second half after the comma would not make sense as a single sentence.

Comma before with
I have done a lot of QA over the years, and lately MTs are using a comma before the word "with" throughout the entire report as if with was equal to "which."

X-rays available from an outside source dated 02/20/2009 indicates joint effusion of the elbow with a fracture of the left humerus lateral epicondyle noted anterior and superior displacement of the fracture fragment. Proximal radius and ulna appear to be intact.

comma
Subject: comma
At first I thought, comma after elbow and then after epicondyle. but the rest of the sentence doesnt make sense. But a hint of where to put a comma is, if the sentence can still make sense from before the first comma continuing after the second comma. as in: joint effusion of the elbow noted anterior..... BUT the rest of the sentence does not make sense.
