Understanding Parental Perspectives: Which Method Is Less Painful for Children during RHS Reduction?

In 2006, Green, et. al., conducted the research to compare two techniques for reducing radial head subluxation in children and explores the pain perception and parental perspectives associated with each method. When children experience radial head subluxation (RHS), a common injury causing immobility in the arm, it is crucial to find the most effective and least painful method for reduction. A recent study conducted at … Continue reading Understanding Parental Perspectives: Which Method Is Less Painful for Children during RHS Reduction?
