Radial Head Dislocation
Radial head dislocation is an elbow injury in which the upper end of the radius bone partially comes out of its position. It is relatively common in young children and is usually related to a sudden pull on the arm.
Common symptoms: pain in the elbow, resistance to moving the arm, and a tendency to keep it held against the body.
When to see a doctor? When a child stops using the arm after a pull or a fall, an evaluation to check the joint is advisable.
Which specialist treats it? The orthopedist, and in particular the pediatric orthopedist, treats this type of injury, with support from the pediatrician. When a minor avoids moving an arm, it is advisable to seek a professional evaluation promptly.
