"Pusher" techniques for reduction of posterior elbow dislocation

"Pusher" techniques for reduction of posterior elbow dislocation
Reduction by "pusher" techniques.
(A) Lavine's method. The child is held by the parent while the elbow is draped over the edge of the chair. The olecranon is pushed distally past the humerus by the thumb of the physician while the other arm pulls distally along the axis of the forearm.
(B) Meyn's technique with patient lying prone on the table.
