What to do if your baby's arm is dislocated

Your baby's bones are not fully developed yet. Their arms and legs are very fragile, so when holding their hands and touching their feet, you must be especially careful and not use too much force. There are countless cases of babies' arms being dislocated due to carelessness in life. So what should you do when you encounter such an emergency?

Babies' bones are not fully developed yet. To put it simply, their bones are very "soft". Every year, many parents cause their babies to dislocate their elbows due to accidentally using too much force. Many people think, is it so easy to dislocate an elbow? Let us give a few examples. When you are dressing your baby or holding your baby's hand for a walk, and the baby suddenly falls down the stairs, and you suddenly pull the child's arm, a pulled elbow will occur. At this time, the child suddenly starts crying or shouting that his arm is in pain. This is most likely a dislocation. Once your baby's elbow is dislocated, you don't need to panic. You can use manual repositioning treatment. If the situation is serious, you should seek medical attention immediately.

The baby will be in great pain after a dislocation. The first thing to do is to comfort the baby and then deal with it immediately. The dislocated joint will compress the nerves, and the ligaments and muscles will be stretched, causing extreme pain with the slightest movement. Simple dislocations are often more painful than fractures. The hands will hang down in front of the chest. You can fold a large scarf into a triangle and hang your arms around your neck. However, it should be noted that you must not move the baby's affected limb at will to avoid secondary injury to the baby's affected part during the movement. First fix the affected part and then apply ice compress, and go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

Even if the joint is restored to its original position, injured ligaments or surrounding tissue may still require treatment. Therefore, parents should be careful not to let their babies move their joints within a few weeks after the joints return to their original positions. If you move the joint during this period, it will be more painful than a fracture, and it will also have a negative impact on the recovery of the injured ligaments and living tissue around the joint.

The above is how to deal with a baby’s dislocated arm. Many people lack certain experience in this area. After the baby's arm is dislocated, still holding their hand can cause cartilage tissue damage and other conditions. For the safety of your baby. When interacting with and playing with your baby, you must not use too much force.
