My youngest had this issue.. the first time it happened she pulled away when i was holding her hand walking in a parking lot. Of course I had a firm grip on her she was 3 years old.. then it happened 6 more times 4 on one arm and 3 on the other. It happened a couple of times while she was playing or other kids playing atound her and bumped the arm.. The doctors said the ligament was "weak".. she had to have surgery to shorten a ligament.. never happened agian after that.
Thanks for sharing 🙏 it is often much harder on the parents - feeling bad that they caused the pain, than it is on the kids who recover very quickly. It is due to laxity of the ligaments in the elbow, especially under the age of five, thankfully, very uncommon to see after the age of six and very uncommon to cause any type of chronic issue. Thanks again for sharing and hope all continuing to go well.
Excellent question, even with Radial head subluxation, considered a partial dislocation, risk of recurrence does increase, seemingly in mail more than female toddlers. Recurrence rate as high as 50% in some studies however, after the age of six or seven, that does not appear to be any increase risk of elbow problems.
My sister broke her arm and the doctor called it nursemaid without even ordering an X-ray, h was gonna try and just throw that Bih in the socket it was already in. Be careful when working with children and be thorough since the parents do not take it lightly when you make mistakes
This seem it be common I have seen adult violently pull childs arm from behind twist the arm and child back facing opposite direct then pull arm upwards yanking child on to there toes. I hate this or seeing it happen it is grossly violent and fed up with seeing it It is pure child abuse. Adults doing this sees to be common by those women who have nasty angry temperaments. It is a child assault.
That twisting you mentioned is a clear cause for spiral breaks. It's actually really weird so see a spiral break occure "naturally" given the ammount of intentional force and twisting needed to make such an awful injury 😞 If you see this again, please _safely_ do something! I'm not saying put yourself at risk, and definitely don't try to force the child away and you could escalate the matter into an even worse physical altercation. Instead call 911/119/ect for help, covertly take pictures or videos for identification, take down license plate details if needed, if you are in a store then enlist the help of employees who can more effectively distract the adult while waiting for authorities to arive. Impatient yanking is never a good thing, but the repercussions of twisting while pushing and pulling on the childs limbs cannot be understated!...This is abuse, and its costly to the child...
