A 4 year old child dislocated because of what

Not necessarily. Small children are prone to dislocation.

Not a big deal.

Let's go to the hospital to have a look, don't be habitual, I used to have a friend who is 30 years old this year, and if you have an arm, you can't carry heavy things and get rid of the pain

It should be nothing, my grandmother often gives a very small child an arm, and often hears her say that when holding the child's arm, you should pay attention to what the child usually plays with, and you should also pay attention to not letting him dislocate for more than half a year.

Don't become habitually dislocated.

This situation is due to the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the baby, at this age of the baby, the ligaments at the elbow joint are loose and weak, and the radius head is not yet fully developed, so it is easy to dislocate when stretching. Generally, by the age of 4-6 years, there will be no more dislocations as the development is complete. Then after the baby has a joint dislocation, it should be given in time to rehabilitate, if there is a habitual dislocation, then it is better to strengthen the prevention of life!

Hello, elbow stretching is a problem caused by many parents or relatives who "make a mistake with good intentions" when playing with their babies. Elbow pulling can occur when you dress your baby, take a walk holding hands, fall down the stairs, or pull your child's arm suddenly. At this point, the child suddenly cries or cries out that the arm being pulled hurts.

The child's elbow joint is often in a semi-flexed position, the forearm is in a pronation position, and he does not dare to supinate, cannot lift and retrieve objects, cannot move freely, and has tenderness at the radial head of the elbow joint, but there is no obvious swelling and deformity locally. Once the child has elbow misalignment, parents do not need to panic, it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment, and manual reduction** is sufficient. Here's how:

Sit upright with the child in your arms, and the surgeon and the child facing each other. Place the affected elbow flexed 90 degrees beside the child. The surgeon holds the lower end of the upper arm with one hand to prevent the shoulder from turning and places the thumb at the radial head.

Hold the wrist of the affected limb with the other hand and perform several consecutive forearm supination movements. At this point, a crisp, slight snapping sound or a bouncing sensation in the finger may be heard, indicating that the radial head has been reduced and the child has stopped crying and can use the affected hand to lift objects.

Guidance: After the radial head is reduced, it is generally not necessary to fix it, but parents should be reminded that it is important not to suddenly induce the child's arm or change the child's clothes with rude movements by lifting objects, so as to avoid the recurrence of dislocation and the formation of habitual dislocation. Children with dislocation for more than 24 hours or a history of recurrent dislocation may not have obvious popping sound or bouncing sensation during reduction due to local swelling, and the pain may not disappear immediately after reduction, but most other symptoms can be relieved. At this time, it is advisable to use a neck wristband to fix the elbow in a right-angled position for about 1 week.
