NURSEMAID’S ELBOW | Nursemaid's elbow occurs when a child's elbow joint partially dislocates, often from pulling or yanking on their arm—or from something as innocent as swinging them around by their arms—causing the ligaments around the elbow to slip. It's common in children ages 1 – 4 and can cause discomfort and limited arm movement.

If a child suddenly avoids using their arm, keeps it close to their body, or shows signs of discomfort when trying to move it, nursemaid's elbow could be the culprit. The affected arm may appear slightly bent, and the child may be hesitant to straighten it.

We believe in the power of prevention. Educating parents, caregivers, and even older siblings about the risks and how to handle a child's arm safely can help reduce the likelihood of nursemaid's elbow.

If you or a loved one is suffering from an elbow injury or condition, request an appointment with one of our elbow experts!

“I definitely got my life back.”

🎥 PATIENT SPOTLIGHT | From hip pain to a successful recovery—and back again for his knee!

Sam turned to Dr. Gregory Nelson, board-certified orthopedic surgeon at Orthopedic Associates, when hip pain started interfering with his daily life. After trying conservative treatment first, Dr. Nelson guided Sam through surgery with personalized care, thorough explanations, and even presurgical nutrition tips to optimize healing. 💪

✅ The result? A successful hip operation—and when knee pain set in, Sam knew exactly who to trust. He returned for the Oxford® Cementless Partial Knee replacement and is now walking pain-free. This innovative procedure combines advanced engineering and the body’s natural healing ability to restore comfort and mobility for patients with degenerative knee conditions.
