Nursemaid’s elbow is a common injury in very young children, and it occurs when the annular ligament subluxes and becomes trapped between the radial head and the capitellum. Most nursemaid’s elbows occur in children between 2 and 3 years old; and it is very uncommon after the age of 5. Nursemaid’s elbow occurs after a longitudinal force is applied to the forearm while it is pronated with the elbow in extension, like when a parent pulls on the child’s hand or forearm. The child usually presents with pain and refusal to move the elbow, with the elbow held in flexion and forearm pronation.
