What is the cause of baby's hand dislocation?

Babies of a few years old are still in the best stage of growth and development. The bones in their bodies have not yet fully formed and are still very fragile. At this time, they can be easily injured if not careful. Sometimes, if you accidentally fall or hit a hard object, it is easy to leave scars on your body. In serious cases, you may even injure your bones. The baby's hand dislocation is caused by some trauma, which causes dislocation of the bones and joints in the body.

When a child's hands or feet are pulled violently or subjected to a strong impact, the joints become dislocated, which is called dislocation. After dislocation, the part bulges out of shape and bends in the opposite direction to the usual direction. In severe cases, it can't be distinguished from a fracture. You should see a specialist. If necessary, appropriate X-ray diagnosis should be performed. Treating dislocation and restoring the dislocated part is simple, but it needs to be done by an orthopedic physician or a plastic surgeon.

When a child does not fall or get hit, but is simply pulled on the arm by his mother, a friend or a caregiver, and his arm suddenly becomes unable to move and hurts, it is most likely dislocated, with the elbow being the most common. In most cases of elbow dislocation, it is not necessary to go to the hospital. The mother or caregiver should hold the child's injured arm, straighten it first, then hold the child's wrist, and twist the elbow from outside to inside. If you hear a "click" during the twisting, the treatment of elbow dislocation is "completed". This is how orthopedic surgeons perform treatment.

When a child's hand joint is dislocated, the mother must not panic and cannot just find someone to reconnect it for the child. This can easily leave sequelae for the child, and problems will be more difficult to treat in the future. It is best to go to a regular hospital to find a professional orthopedic doctor. If you do it improperly, it can easily cause secondary injuries to your child and cause habitual dislocation of the hand joints.
