    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Orthopedics
    • Musculoskeletal Injuries

    Background:

    • Radial head subluxation is a frequent injury in children aged two to five years.
    • It involves entrapment of the annular ligament in the radiocapitellar space.
    • Often caused by traction on an extended, pronated arm.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the commonality and mechanism of radial head subluxation in children.
    • To emphasize the importance of awareness for diagnosis and treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • The abstract describes the mechanism of injury and common demographic.
    • No specific study methods are detailed, focusing on the condition's characteristics.

    Main Results:

    • Radial head subluxation is the most common musculoskeletal injury in children aged two to five.
  • The condition results from annular ligament entrapment.

    • Conclusions:

    • Awareness of radial head subluxation facilitates straightforward diagnosis.
    • Simple manipulation enables rapid treatment for this common pediatric injury.
