Dislocated Elbow in Children | Symptoms & Signs | Diagnosis & Tests | Prevention & Expectations | Treatment & Monitoring

How is the injury recognized?

A dislocated elbow is diagnosed by the history of injury and symptoms. A joint x-ray is usually not needed, unless the way the injury occurred is unusual. If there is doubt about the cause of the injury, the healthcare provider may ask questions to see if there is any child abuse.
