the claim

A nursemaid's elbow is a joint subluxation involving the head of the radius and the annular ligament.

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that a nursemaid's elbow is a joint subluxation involving the head of the radius and the annular ligament?

Yes. Multiple clinical and biomechanical studies support the well-established definition that nursemaid's elbow is a subluxation of the radial head involving displacement relative to the annular ligament.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 4 sources for, 0 against · Last checked

The analysis

The retrieved literature consistently defines nursemaid's elbow (pulled elbow) as a subluxation of the radial head associated with the annular ligament, typically caused by longitudinal traction. The claim is well-supported by anatomical descriptions and biomechanical studies.
