Nursemaid's elbow is a common condition in young children, especially under age 5. The injury occurs when a child is pulled up too hard by their hand or wrist. It is often seen after someone lifts a child up by one arm. This might occur, for example when trying to lift the child over a curb or high step.
The treatment is a simple physical maneuver called a nursemaid elbow reduction. It only takes a few seconds. Your healthcare provider will perform the reduction by gently flexing and rotating the arm. You might hear a “pop” as the joint moves back into place.
