Elbow Dislocation
Thursday night lights. Myself and the doc on scene were not able to reduce this player’s dislocation. 1st question: would you try to reduce this before a doc tried if you knew how to properly?
We were at an away game and the other team’s doc was luckily onsite. He also happened to be an elbow specialist. We went back to the locker room, try multiple attempts, and elected to send him to the ER. Very strong musculature so couldn’t reduce it without sedation. I got word for the mom that they still hadn’t been able to reduce it under mild sedation. Since he’s 17, they had to transfer him to a peds hospital. I’ll update as I know more. Question 2: what are your thoughts on reducing dislocations? I’ve heard many opinions on this from ATs and docs.
