Some babies are very active every day and often experience dislocated arms due to their mischievousness. At this point, it is necessary to find the correct treatment method to avoid worsening of the condition and serious consequences. For a dislocated baby, if not corrected in a timely manner, it may cause habitual dislocation. So what should be done if the baby's arm is dislocated?
When a baby does a lot of exercise, it may cause dislocation. When the arm is dislocated, it can be very painful. The first thing to do is to comfort the baby and calm them down. At this point, you can fold a large scarf into a triangle, secure your arms, and tie them around your neck. Do not move the dislocated limbs of the baby at will to avoid secondary injury to the dislocated area during the movement. After fixing it, go to the hospital immediately.
If the baby is dislocated and cannot be promptly taken to the hospital, other treatment methods can be adopted. Hold the lower end of the upper arm with your hand to prevent rotation of the shoulder joint, and place your thumb on the humeral head. Grasp the wrist of the dislocated limb with the other hand and perform several consecutive forearm rotations. At this point, a crisp and slightly tapping sound can be heard, indicating that the humeral head has been reset and observing whether the baby's arm can move normally.
In addition to performing a proper reset, parents also need to understand the precautions to avoid recurrence, which can make it difficult to cure. After joint recovery, fixation is generally not necessary, but parents should be careful to avoid suddenly pulling their baby's arm or using rough movements to change their baby's clothes, in order to prevent dislocation from happening again and forming habitual dislocation.
