How To Reduce a Radial Head Subluxation (Nursemaid Elbow)
Additional Considerations for Nursemaid Elbow Reduction
Pre-procedure x-rays are not needed if clinical evaluation indicates a simple radial head subluxation. However, if there are physical signs (deformity, swelling, bruising, pain, tenderness) of other, concurrent injuries, a pre-procedure x-ray of the suspect area is required. The hyperpronation technique may cause less pain than the supination-flexion technique and may also have a higher rate of successful reduction.
