Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Manual reduction: This is the primary method of treatment. No anesthesia is required during reduction. First, the forearm is supinated, then the elbow is extended with slight traction. The thumb is pressed on the radial head in front of the elbow. The elbow joint is flexed, and if necessary, the forearm is rotated back and forth. A popping sound can be felt during reduction. After reduction, the elbow and forearm can move freely.
