AbstractIsolated radial head subluxation without fracture, commonly referred to as "nursemaid's elbow," is one of the most common pediatric upper extremity injuries. Radial head dislocation without an associated fracture is rarely seen in adults. They are usually associated with ulnar fractures or an elbow dislocation. We present a case of an adult female presenting with a radial head dislocation and an elbow subluxation sustained while dressing, which was successfully reduced using the techniques commonly used to reduce nursemaid's elbow in pediatric patients.Copyright © 2019, Webb et al.
