Item Traumatic elbow subluxation in a child: case report.(2001-11-21) Kraiwattanapong, C; Kiriratnikom, TAn 11-year-old boy fell on his outstretched right arm, following which he had pain on the lateral aspect of his right elbow with limitation of range of motion. Roentgenograms showed right elbow subluxation. The elbow was reduced and immobilized in a long arm splint for 5 days. The result was excellent. Elbow subluxation in previous reports was the result of recurrent elbow dislocation with instability. There are no reports of elbow subluxation in patients who did not have underlying recurrent elbow dislocation or elbow instability. This condition is easy to diagnose and has an excellent outcome.
