A 10-year-old girl presents to the urgent care clinic with a dislocated elbow sustained in a roller-skating accident. Which of the following is NOT an expected treatment for this girl?

Choice A reason: Physical therapy is a standard component of post-reduction rehabilitation to restore range of motion and strength after an elbow dislocation. Choice B reason: Reduction, the process of realigning the joint, is the primary immediate treatment for elbow dislocation. Choice C reason: Splinting is used to immobilize the joint after reduction to allow healing and prevent further injury. Choice D reason: This is the correct answer. Surgical intervention is not typically required for a straightforward dislocation unless there are associated fractures, neurovascular compromise, or failed reduction. In most pediatric elbow dislocations, non-surgical management suffices.
