A2 - Appachi, Elumalai PY - 2015 T2 - The Color Atlas of Pediatrics AB - A healthy 2-year-old female is brought to the emergency department because she is not using her left arm. The patient was holding her father’s hand while walking when she tripped. To prevent her from falling, her father held onto the patient’s left hand and pulled her up as she tripped. The patient cried immediately and then she calmed. She did not seem to be in pain, but she would not move or use her left arm. She held her left arm close to her side with her elbow slightly bent and her palm turned toward her body (Figure 82-1). Father denies bruising, swelling, fevers, other injury, or recent illnesses. She was diagnosed with nursemaid’s elbow, which was successfully reduced in the emergency department and she regained full use of her arm immediately.
