Thank you so much for this video because it was so helpful to me in my clinic

To anybody who watches it, I want to remind one thing. This is for POSTERIOR elbow dislocations only, not ANTERIOR (which is more common in pediatric populations). Be very careful. If you do this technique in anterior elbow dislocations, you'll end up dislocating the elbow more.

Other than that, pretty concise video.

My left arm is no pain at all. But when I stretched it, the structure is bent and twisted.
