Abstract
Nursemaid’s elbow, characterized by subluxation orslipping of the radial head is a common injury in thepediatric population. This article provides acomprehensive overview of the epidemiology,pathophysiology, and clinical presentation to helpdiagnose the nursemaid's elbow; it also criticallyevaluates various methods for reducing radial headsubluxation, comparing their efficacy. This review aimsto provide clinicians with a better understanding of thenursemaid's elbow and help them to make informeddecisions regarding the most appropriate method fortreating this condition in their pediatric patients.
