What should I do if my three-year-old's elbow joint hurts after being picked up by their dad?

Patient's question:

A three-year-old baby's elbow joint hurts after being picked up by their father. Their arm can't move, and any movement causes elbow pain. What could be the reason? Can the children's hospital treat it in the evening?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the condition in your family is likely a common pediatric disease called capitellum humeri lunatoid injury. I recommend you go to the hospital to have a professional doctor perform reduction. After reduction, the patient's pain will be significantly reduced. If it is this disease, there will be absolutely no sequelae.
