Which method of nursemaid’s elbow reduction has the highest first-attempt success rate?
Hyperpronation has a higher first-attempt reduction success rate and may be less painful than the supination/flexion method.
Hyperpronation method - apply pressure to the radial head and hyperpronating the forearm
Nursemaid Elbow (Radial Head Subluxation) treatment is
Hyperpronation method - apply pressure to the radial head and hyperpronating the forearm
Supination/flexion method - supinate and fully flex the elbow while applying pressure to the radial head and pulling with gentle traction
