Abstract
SummaryThis is the first article of a two part series to address simple elbow injuries in children. It will focus on assessment of the injured elbow, addressing techniques to overcome the challenges of examining young children and the features indicative of significant injury in this age group. A case study will be used to illustrate the most common features of a pulled elbow and how this injury is managed. The second article in the series will concentrate on the differences between children's and adults’ bones, the radiographic features that are unique to the paediatric elbow and supracondylar fractures.
