FIX-KG-17

Pulled elbow

Pulled elbow is a common minor injury which usually affects children. It occurs when the radius slips through a ligament at the elbow. Pulled elbow is a result of suddenly pulling or twisting the joint. It occurs among children because young kid’s joints are not completely developed and the ring shaped ligament is looser.

When the pulled elbow occurs, the medical examination is needed. The doctor will perform a quick and simple manoeuvre to manipulate the head of the radius bone back into the correct position. Also, elbow immobilization with professional children brace FIX-KG-17 is recommended.

Purpose of use

• elbow strain/sprain
