They may not use their arm at all. </p> <p>It is normal for your child to feel upset. They may cry or complain only if the arm is moved. It is also possible that they do not cry and are not upset. Many children will point to the wrist when asked where it hurts, even though the problem is in the area of the elbow.</p><h2>Treatment in hospital</h2> <p>Your child will not usually need an <a href="/Article?contentid=1647&language=English">X-ray</a>. The health care provider will move the arm and slip the bone and ligament back into place. This causes some pain for the child, but it is usually a very quick procedure.</p> <p>Your child will usually start to use their arm within 15 minutes after this procedure. They may be hesitant at first. If the injury has been present for many hours it may take a bit longer for them to use their arm normally. </p> <p>Sometimes the bone will move back into place when you move your child's arm by accident, such as when taking off a shirt or sweater. Do not try to move the bone back into place on your own. </p><h2>When to seek medical attention</h2> <p>Call your child's regular doctor if:</p> <ul> <li>your child is still not using their arm normally by the next day after the procedure</li> <li>your child seems to be in a lot of pain</li> <li>this type of injury happens again</li> </ul>

Les ligaments tiennent les os en place. Lorsque le bras de l’enfant est tiré, tordu ou secoué brusquement, le ligament peut s’étirer, ce qui permet au radius de sortir de son emplacement habituel.</p><p>Cette maladie est aussi nommée « subluxation du coude ».</p><p>Cette pronation douloureuse est courante chez les jeunes enfants. Elle survient normalement entre 6 mois et 5 ans.</p> <figure class="asset-c-80"><img src="https://assets.aboutkidshealth.ca/akhassets/Pulled_elbow_MED_ILL_FR.jpg" alt="Radius, ulna et ligament du coude normal, et radius partiellement disloqué et ligament déchiré en cas de subluxation du coude" /><figcaption class="asset-image-caption">La subluxation du coude survient quand l'un des os de l'avant-bras (le radius) passe à travers le ligament du coude. Si l'on tire ou tord soudainement le bras d'un enfant, le ligament s'étirera et le radius sera disloqué.</figcaption> </figure><h2>À retenir</h2> <ul> <li>La pronation douloureuse des jeunes enfants est causée par une traction ou une torsion brusque du bras.</li> <li>Elle est plus courante chez les tout-petits.</li> <li>Elle est diagnostiquée aisément et l’os est remis en place facilement par un fournisseur de soins.</li> <li>N’essayez pas de remettre l’os en place vous-même.</li> <li>Évitez les tractions brusques du bras de votre enfant.</li> </ul><h2>Signes et symptômes de la pronation douloureuse des jeunes enfants</h2> <p>Après une traction ou une torsion brusque du bras, l’enfant se mettra généralement à pleurer de douleur.</p> <p>L’enfant pourrait tenir son bras qui pend mollement le long de son corps et pourrait ensuite refuser de se servir de son bras.</p> <p>Il est normal que votre enfant soit bouleversé. Il pourrait pleurer ou se plaindre lorsque l’on bouge son bras. Il est également possible que l’enfant ne pleure pas et ne soit pas bouleversé. Même si le problème se situe dans la région du coude, beaucoup d’enfants pointeront le poignet lorsqu’on leur demande où se situe la douleur.</p><h2>Traitement à l’hôpital</h2> <p>Votre enfant n’aura généralement pas besoin de <a href="/Article?contentid=1647&language=French">radiographies</a>. Le fournisseur de soins de santé bougera le bras et remettra l’os et le ligament en place; cette procédure sera douloureuse pour l’enfant, mais elle est généralement très rapide.</p> <p>Généralement, votre enfant recommencera à utiliser son bras dans les 15 minutes suivant cette procédure, bien qu’il puisse être hésitant au début. S’il s’est écoulé de nombreuses heures depuis la blessure, il est possible que ce délai soit plus long avant que votre enfant utilise son bras de façon normale. </p> <p>L’os se remet parfois en place spontanément lorsqu’un parent bouge le bras de l’enfant, comme lorsqu’il retire sa chemise ou son chandail. Ne tentez pas de remettre l’os en place vous-même.</p><h2>Quand faut-il demander de l’aide médicale?</h2> <p>Communiquez avec le médecin habituel de votre enfant si :</p> <ul> <li>votre enfant ne se sert toujours pas de son bras normalement le lendemain de la procédure;</li> <li>votre enfant semble avoir beaucoup mal;</li> <li>ce type de blessure se reproduit.</li> </ul>
