υπεξάρθρημα της κεφαλής της κερκίδας

Explanation:
Nursemaid elbow is a common injury among preschool-aged children. It refers to a condition (medically called a radial head subluxation) in which a child's elbow bones get partially pulled out of joint and do not line up normally. The injury can occur innocently from swinging a young child by the arms or pulling a child's arm while in a hurry.

Εδώ το λέει και "pulled elbow":
Pulled Elbow In Children
A common injury in children under five years of age is a partial dislocation of the elbow. This is called a "pulled elbow" or "nursemaid's elbow." A sudden jerk upwards of the arm is the main cause.

This can occur:

* when an adult lifts a small child up by the hand or
* quickly pulls them away from harm by the hand or
* when a child falls while his hand is being held
