A child with a dislocated arm should go to the hospital as soon as possible to receive manipulative repositioning treatment.
A child’s elbow is not yet fully developed, and excessive pulling is likely to lead to dislocation of the arm. Although this is not a very serious condition, it will affect the function of the elbow joint. Parents should take their child to the orthopedic department of a hospital as soon as possible to receive proper manipulative repositioning treatment.
No anesthesia is required during the manipulative reset, which rotates the forearm as the elbow joint is moved from extension to flexion. When the reset is successful, a popping sensation can be felt at the humeral radius joint.
Parents must usually be careful to try not to pull the child’s hand, it is recommended to pull the sleeve. Usually try to avoid falling when the child is playing.
