Imaging Pitfalls of the Acutely Traumatized Pediatric Elbow
Journal Title: Oman Medical Journal - Year 2018, Vol 33, Issue 5
Abstract
A four-year-old otherwise healthy girl presented to our outpatient clinic complaining of left elbow pain and swelling. The child’s parents reported an indoor trauma the previous day. On clinical examination, the left elbow and forearm exhibited diffuse swelling. The gentle passive range of elbow and forearm motion was normal and mostly pain-free. Nevertheless, the radial head was stable but a palpable click was noted.
