Abstract

A new radiological sign of distal shift of the radius compared to the ulna is described in the condition of pulled elbow. This measurement has been termed the proximal radial length and was altered in 21 out of 25 cases of pulled elbow diagnosed clinically. The normal relationship was restored after manipulation.
