Baby still hurts after dislocation reduction

Young children are naughty and active. They always like to run, jump or climb high places, which may lead to joint dislocation. At this time, the baby is in unbearable pain and parents should rush him to the hospital for treatment, where a professional doctor will reposition the dislocation. However, some parents may find that their baby still feels pain after the dislocation is reduced. What is going on? There are generally two reasons: incomplete reduction or damage to the muscles and ligaments at the dislocated position, both of which can cause pain after reduction.

Why does the baby still feel pain after dislocation reduction?

First, it is not completely reset;

Second, dislocation causes local fibrous ligament damage, and it is recommended to check the shoulder joint.

If the reduction is normal, Chinese medicine can be applied externally to treat local fibrous ligament injury. Generally speaking, after a dislocation, some ligament tissues around the joint will inevitably be strained, so after reduction, the joint capsule and the surrounding ligament muscles will be stimulated again.

So the pain is normal and it may subside slowly.

How to deal with baby's dislocation.

1. Treatment method: judgment

Place a toy in front of your child and ask him to reach out and grab it. If he keeps avoiding using his arm or is unable to raise it when he uses it, a dislocation may have occurred.

2. Treatment Method 2: Emergency Treatment

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, do not move the baby's affected limb at will to avoid secondary injury to the baby's affected part during the movement. Fix the affected part first and then apply ice compress, and go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

3. Treatment method 3: Seek medical attention promptly

When a child dislocates the joint, it is not too difficult to restore the joint to its original state within two or three hours after the dislocation. If it takes too long, the surrounding tissues will swell, making recovery difficult. Therefore, you should seek medical attention promptly and have a specialist perform the reduction treatment. It is best to restore the joint to its original state within 2-3 hours after a dislocation. If it takes too long, the surrounding tissues will swell, making recovery difficult. In addition, the dislocated joint will compress the nerves, and the stretched ligaments and muscles will cause pain when the child moves.

4. Treatment method 4: Pay attention to repetition

After the joint is repositioned, fixation is generally not required, but dislocation is recurring and habitual, and once it happens, it is likely to recur in the future. Therefore, parents need to pay special attention.

Precautions

1. After the dislocated joint is reduced, fixation is generally not required, but parents should be careful not to suddenly pull the baby's arm in the way of lifting objects or change the child's clothes with rough movements, and never lift the baby up by the hand. To prevent dislocation from happening again and forming habitual dislocation

2. The baby is most likely to be injured when his hands are stretched straight with the palms facing up. Therefore, when parents support their baby, they should hold his elbow or upper arm. When a baby around one year old is learning to walk, parents should put their hands under his armpits.

3. If the baby has been dislocated for more than 24 hours or has a history of repeated dislocations, the popping sound or bouncing sensation during reduction may not be obvious due to local swelling, and the pain may not disappear immediately after reduction, but other symptoms can mostly be relieved. At this time, it is advisable to use a triangular bandage to fix the baby's elbows at a right angle for about a week.
