I need information about re-occurring "Nursemaids Elbow" or "Pulled Elbow"...?

As he grows older it seems to tighten up and not happen as often, but I have heard of extreme cases where they wired the elbow together. That is extrememly rare and used only in cases where the elbow will not hold itself together at all. You just have to watch him closely and try to prevent him from being in a situation that can cause it again. Just have to let him grow out of it.

Nursemaid's elbow is a common injury that is seen most often in children between the ages of 1-3 years . Usually the child has had an incident in which the extended arm was pulled. Most commonly it occurs when a child is falling and the individual holding the hand doesn't let go. Another common mechanism is when the child is swinging while being held by the hands. Occasionally, the injury occurs after a fall.

My daughter used to have this occur quite often, 2-3 times a year. All we could do was take her to the hospital and have them fix it. It eventually stopped when she was between 3 and 4. We were told there was nothing we could do, it would go away on its own, and it did. We were also told there would be no lasting damage.

The elbow has essentially dislocated with the force of the pull and until his ligaments tight up I would consider another form of picking him up. Scoop him up from his legs and butt, don't grab on to his little arm, especially if your tense, angry or in a hurry, the results for both of you can be unhappy!

Because of his age I would recomend that you take him to his doctor and have it checked. there could be someting else going on and they may have other things that could help.
