What to do if your wrist has been dislocated for years without resetting

Wrist dislocations that have not been reset for many years may be caused by ligamentous laxity around the wrist joint after injury, and are usually treated with conservative and surgical treatments. 1. Conservative treatment: wrist dislocation caused by ligament laxity can usually be fixed with some devices such as bandages, wrist guards, wrist protectors, etc., to reduce ligament activity and promote recovery. 2. Surgery: Ligamentous laxity can cause flexion and extension weight-bearing activities in the joints, thus causing deformation of the cartilage inside the joints, rupture and peeling off of the cartilage triggered by the dislocated part can not be reset. Surgery, such as capsular overlap suture, can be used to maintain the stability of the joint and reset the dislocated wrist. Wrist dislocation should go to the regular hospital for relevant examination, and according to the patient’s symptoms to determine the severity of the disease, follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment to avoid the development of the disease.
