Abstract:
Elbow injuries are one of the commonest paediatric musculoskeletal injuries. Their spectrum varies from pulled elbow to elbow dislocation. Supracondylar fractures are the most common type of paediatric elbow fractures accounting for 65-75 % of all paediatric elbow injuries. Other common paediatric elbow injuries include Lateral condyle fractures, Medial epicondyle fractures, Radial neck fractures, olecranon fractures, TRASH injuries and Elbow dislocations. Osteochondral fractures in kids can be missed due to their benign appearance or invisibility on x rays. TRASH stands for "The Radiological Appearance Seems Harmless". In contrast to the full form, the abbreviation TRASH tells the harmful consequences of missing these injuries. This article will discuss the salient points regarding common elbow injuries, their diagnosis and best treatment practices. It will help the caregivers to be more prepared to deal with these situations and thus avoiding complications and getting better outcomes.

Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
