What is a pulled elbow?

This is a common injury in young children. It usually occurs as a result of a sudden pull on a child’s arm when the elbow is straight. It commonly happens when swinging a child round by the arms, or when the child stumbles when holding your hand.

How do broken toes occur?
Broken toes can occur in several ways but are commonly caused by a direct hit, such as kicking a hard object or something landing on the toe.

A toe can also break from a twisting type of injury: if you play a sport where you don’t wear shoes (for example, martial arts, ballet and gymnastics) you are at an increased risk of a toe injury.
