Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparison of success and pain levels of supination-flexion and hyperpronation maneuvers in childhood nursemaid's elbow cases.
The aim of this study was to compare the hyperpronation (HP) and the supination-flexion (SF) reduction techniques for reducing nursemaid's elbow in terms of efficacy and pain. ⋯ The HP technique was found to be more successful compared with the SF technique in achieving reduction. We were unable to find any significant difference in pain levels observed between the 2 techniques.
