Child refuses to move their arm

Today, we're going to discuss Nurse Maid Elbow. Specifically, we’ll review:

The anatomy of the elbow How this injury occurs How the patient presents Imaging studies to consider Treatment A case study of a patient he had presenting to the ER - I once had a mother who came into the ER with her two-year old son extremely upset with herself and very emotional.

She was upset because she had just put her son in day care and gone back to work recently because she said money was really tight

And that, something like this wouldn’t have happened if she were still the one taking care of her son.

The mother wasn’t exactly sure what happened, but she was told that while at daycare someone stepped on her son’s hand and then he wouldn’t use his whole arm since.

Now the mother could not believe that this is what actually happened and she sincerely asked me if I thought that someone could have physically assaulted her child.

So, we'll go through this case in more detail. -
