Y1 - 2018 N1 - T2 - Reichman's Emergency Medicine Procedures, 3e AB - Subluxation of the radial head is one of the most common pediatric orthopedic injuries. It is also known as nursemaid’s elbow and a pulled elbow. This can occur in children whose age ranges from less than 6 months to the preteens. Most radial head subluxations occur between 1 and 3 years of age.1,2 It is a rare injury before 1 year of age and after 8 years of age. The basic cause is a pulling of the child’s arm even though the exact cause varies.3,4 The injury is limited to small children because the radial head is less bulbous than in older children, adolescents, and adults making it easier to become subluxed. Fortunately, it can be easily reduced in the Emergency Department.5 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/10/11 UR - accessemergencymedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1159801499 ER -
