Leverage technique to reduce dislocated elbow

Leverage technique to reduce dislocated elbow
To apply the leverage technique, the clinician places the point of their elbow at the location of the distal biceps tendon insertion at the patient's proximal forearm, approximately in the crook of the patient's elbow. The patient's forearm is supinated. The clinician then interlocks their fingers with the patient's or grasps the patient's hand or wrist. With their other hand, the clinician braces the patient's forearm. The clinician then flexes the patient's elbow, using the leverage of their elbow to reduce the dislocation.
