ABSTRACT
This chapter provides information for performing radial head dislocation. It begins with a case scenario of a 12-year-old boy, who is presents with a dislocated elbow. The chapter then includes details on indications, contraindications, and information about supplies and technique. Pearls and pitfalls are also incorporated, providing additional insights and practical advice not always available in other textbooks or articles." If the patient is too sedated to be in a sitting position, the reduction can be safely attempted with the patient recumbent. Unsuccessfully reduced dislocations should lead to orthopedic consultation.
