A baby's arm is not as strong as an adult's, and the adult pulled it hard, causing the arm to dislocate. It needs timely treatment to solve the problem of dislocation. But parents are also worried that their baby's arm may have dislocated once and will continue to do so frequently in the future, and the baby will need to experience the pain caused by multiple dislocations. So, will the baby often dislocate after being dislocated?
Whether a baby's arm will frequently dislocate after being dislocated mainly depends on daily practice and whether there have been any accidents. If there is no external injury or gravitational pull, the baby's arm will not often dislocate, and parents can rest assured. If the baby is not fixed in time after being dislocated, it will repeatedly dislocate and develop habitual dislocation problems, which will directly affect the development of the baby's arms.
Compared to adult arms, babies' arms are indeed more prone to dislocation because their elbow ligaments are relatively weak and underdeveloped, making it difficult to fix the radial head. Once pulled by external forces, it is easy for the radial head to dislocate. Therefore, when parents usually dress and undress their babies, they should be careful not to pull their arms too hard, let alone pull them too hard.
If a baby's arm is dislocated, it must be reattached as soon as possible. At this time, the baby should be taken to the hospital for a detailed examination to see how to handle it. The dislocated arm needs to be fixed for a few days, during which parents should help with nursing care.
