Abstract

Background: Nursemaid's elbow is a known orthopedic pediatric emergency that occurs between one and four years of age. Axial traction of the extended arm when the forearm is pronated is the most frequently reported mechanism of infliction. However, other mechanisms are mentioned in the literature. Cases report: We report a case of pulled elbow in a four-month-old child. The mother reported that the child only rolled over to her side. Conclusion: A high index of suspicion for pulled elbow should be kept in younger infants despite the absence of the usual presentation.
