what is nurses made elbow?

Question

a babys elbow constantly gets dislocated from the slightest bump its also known as nurses made elbow any info on how to care for it?

Answer 1

Nursemaid elbow is a common and easily treated condition. Correct diagnosis is the primary challenge to the physician.
The slippage of the head of the radius under the annular ligament. The distal attachment of the annular ligament covering the radial head is weaker in children than in adults, allowing it to be more easily torn.
As children age, the ligament strengthens, making the condition less common. The oval shape of the proximal radius in cross-section contributes to this condition by offering a more acute angle posteriorly and laterally, with less resistance to slippage of the ligament when axial traction is applied to the extended and pronated forearm. The common belief that nursemaid elbow is due to children having a radial head smaller than the radial neck is incorrect.
Nursemaid elbow most commonly occurs in children aged 1-4 years. However, it has been reported in patients as young as 4 months and as old as 15 years.

Answer 3

Nursemaid's elbow is a common injury that is seen most often in children between the ages of 1-3 years . Usually the child has had an incident in which the extended arm was pulled. Most commonly it occurs when a child is falling and the individual holding the hand doesn't let go. Another common mechanism is when the child is swinging while being held by the hands. Occasionally, the injury occurs after a fall.

Take the kid to an ER, they can pop the elbow back in place pretty quickly and painlessly.
