Virtual video coaching of pulled elbow reduction was completed at our institution with overall good success rate. All the physicians involved noted the essential need and benefits of video conferencing for successfully reducing radial head subluxation. We note that a pediatric population may be more amenable to video-based appointments than other populations due to their caregivers' familiarity with digital technology. Finally, as nonphysician models of healthcare delivery for virtual urgent care visits expand, we propose a checklist based on our experience to ensure patient safety.
