Pulled Elbow or Nursemaid Elbow Treatment in Outpatients Clinic

Description

This video covers a pediatric case involving a concerned father whose 15-month-old son has been experiencing pain in his left elbow after being lifted by the arm during play. The doctor reassures the father, suggesting the boy has a condition known as a 'pulled elbow,' which is common in toddlers aged 1 to 2. The doctor gently manipulates the boy's elbow, successfully reducing the issue, which is confirmed by a notable 'clunk' sound as the joint is reset. After treatment, the child feels fine and displays normal arm movement. The video concludes with the doctor encouraging viewers, particularly those with small children, to spread awareness about this common injury.
