Dislocated Elbow in Children
A dislocated elbow in children, popularly known as "nursemaid's elbow," occurs when one of the forearm bones shifts out of its usual position in the elbow joint, often after an abrupt pull on the arm.
Signs to watch for:
- The child stops moving the affected arm
- Keeps the elbow slightly bent and held against the body
- Cries or complains when trying to move it
How it usually happens: when lifting or pulling the child by the arm or hand suddenly.
Which specialist treats it? The pediatric orthopedist is the right professional to examine the joint and reposition it safely. If such an injury is suspected, the best thing is to seek an evaluation promptly.
