The incidence of Radial Head Subluxation in young children in the Aberdeen City Area was ascertained by retrospective review to be 1.2% per year. One hundred and sixty-two cases were recorded, in children aged between 5 and 66 months. The epidemiological features of the condition are reviewed. Extrapolation of these figures to the population of England, Scotland and Wales would suggest an annual incidence of 50,000 cases. This is a condition treatable in general practice, provided of course that the patient is not taken direct to an Accident and Emergency Department.
通过回顾性研究确定，阿伯丁市地区幼儿桡骨头半脱位的发病率为每年1.2%。记录了162例病例，患儿年龄在5至66个月之间。本文对该病的流行病学特征进行了综述。将这些数据推算至英格兰、苏格兰和威尔士的总人口，每年的发病数预计可达50,000例。当然，只要患者不直接被送往急诊部，这种疾病在全科医疗中是可以治疗的。
