Pulled elbow in children below 2 years of age is relatively uncommon. We illustrate 2 cases presenting the characteristic features of pulled elbow but was misdiagnosed as soft tissue injury. Diagnosis was established 12 hours later for the first case and 48 hours later for the second case after referral to the orthopaedic paediatric unit. The authors emphasized the importance of recognizing this syndrome and vigilantly treating it with closed manipulative reduction.

“…The diagnosis of pulled elbow depends on history of mechanism and physical examination [8] . Reduction may be attempted without radiographs if clinical presentation is typical of a pulled elbow [10,13] ; however, in case of an unclear mechanism of injury, unnecessary radiographs are often taken [14,15] .…”

Pulled elbow is a disorder commonly observed in children in routine medical practice, Pulled elbow or nursemaid's elbow is a radial head subluxation caused by a sudden pull on the extended pronated forearm.; however, when the circumstances involved in the injury are unknown, difficulty has been encountered in differential diagnosis whether it is a bone fracture or pulled elbow. One of the reasons involved has been the unavailability of diagnostic imaging in confirming the diagnosis of the pulled elbow. Nursemaid's elbowsare indistinguishable from healthy elbows on radiograph. This article reviews the key issues to be considered while assessing these patients with real time musculoskeletal ultrasonography.

“…Pulled elbow, also known as Nursemaid's elbow or radial head subluxation, is a common injury that is seen most often in children between the ages of 1--5 years (1,2). With traction on the extended arm, the annular ligament slides over the head of the radius into the joint space and becomes entrapped (3).…”

“…Radiographic examination is usually not necessary and appears normal in most instances (2). However, there can be circumstances in which the clinical history is unknown or atypical and reduction of the pulled elbow is not successful.…”
