A pulled elbow, also known as nursemaid’s elbow, is a common injury in young children (typically under five years old) where the radius (one of the forearm bones) slips out of its normal position at the elbow joint. It often occurs when a child’s arm is pulled or lifted suddenly by the hand or wrist. The child may hold their arm slightly bent and avoid using it due to pain. A healthcare professional can usually treat it with a simple maneuver to reposition the bone. #pulledelbow #ligament #injur
