Q

What is subluxation and how does it happen?

A
  • incomplete dislocation of the head of the radius .
  • It occurs due to sudden lifting /jerking by the upper limb as the forearm is pronated.
  • tears the distal attachment of the annular ligament, causing the radial head to move distally, partially out of the torn annular ligament.
