Often a child will hold their arm against their body with the elbow slightly bent. [1] They will not move the arm as this results in pain. [2] Touching the arm, without moving the elbow, is usually not painful. [1] A pulled elbow typically results from a sudden pull on an extended arm. [2] This may occur when lifting or swinging a child by the ...
The ulna fractures in the proximal one-third of the shaft due to extreme dislocation. Depending on the impact and forces applied in each direction, degree of energy absorption determines pattern, involvement of the radial head and whether or not open soft tissue occurs. Direct blow on back of upper forearm would be a very uncommon cause.
Elbow: Posterior dislocation, 90% of all elbow dislocations [29] Wrist: Lunate and Perilunate dislocation most common [30] Finger: Interphalangeal (IP) or metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint dislocations [31] In the United States, men are most likely to sustain a finger dislocation with an incidence rate of 17.8 per 100,000 person-years.

This is a shortened version of the seventeenth chapter of the ICD-9: Diseases of the Digestive System. It covers ICD codes 800 to 999. The full chapter can be found on pages 473 to 546 of Volume 1, which contains all (sub)categories of the ICD-9. Volume 2 is an alphabetical index of Volume 1.
A medial epicondyle fracture is an avulsion injury to the medial epicondyle of the humerus; the prominence of bone on the inside of the elbow. Medial epicondyle fractures account for 10% elbow fractures in children. 25% of injuries are associated with a dislocation of the elbow.
Dental subluxation is a non-dental-urgency condition, i.e., unlikely to result in significant morbidity if not seen within 24 hours by a dentist, [10] and usually treated conservatively: good oral hygiene with 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate mouthwash, a soft and cold diet, and avoidance of smoking for several days. [10]
Radial head fractures are a common type of elbow fracture that typically occurs after a fall on an outstretched arm. [1] They account for approximately one third of all elbow fractures and are frequently associated with other injuries of the elbow. [2] [3] Radial head fractures are diagnosed by a clinical assessment and medical imaging.
The radial head fracture is usually managed by open reduction internal fixation under general anaesthesia: the area is opened surgically, the surgeon forces the bones back into their correct positions, and then fixes them in place using titanium pins and/ or plates; if the fracture is too comminuted (i.e., the bones have been crushed or fractured into many pieces) a radial head implant can be ...
