This kind of hand-holding is easy to cause trouble Parents should be especially careful

Heqing News Network News There are cute treasures in the family, parents pull their children's arms high, carry the child's arm swing, etc. are common "operations", but as everyone knows, these hand-holding actions are dangerous operations for children to suffer from pulling elbows. Wang Xiaofei, attending physician of the Department of Orthopedics of Langfang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, said that many children with elbows have been treated recently, reminding parents to avoid these dangerous operations.

Pull your arm hard and pull out your elbow

"Doctor, show me the child's arm, suddenly can't move, is it a broken bone?" Tong Tong's mother held 2-year-old Tong Tong to the emergency room, it turned out that Tong Tong was playing happily, his mother raised his arm to dress him, it may be that the action was violent, the child suddenly cried, the arm did not dare to move, the child did not even dare to take the toy, crying very badly.

After Wang Xiaofei received the diagnosis, he was diagnosed with stretching his elbow. After a professional reset, Tong Tong's arm finally returned to normal, stretched and held freely, and no longer cried.

Elbow pulling occurs mostly in infants (0 to 3 years old) and preschool (3-6 years old) children, mostly due to excessive force to stretch the arms of young children. Because the child's bones are tough, the muscles and ligaments are relatively weak, but the flexibility is large, the molars of the joints are shallow, and the joint capsules and ligaments are loose and weak. When subjected to external rotational traction pull, it will cause subluxation of the small head of the radius due to excessive ligamentation, resulting in corresponding symptoms: the child's forearm suddenly cannot move, sagging to one side can not be lifted, the hand can not do rotational movements, the pain point is pointed to the outside of the elbow, do not let the parents touch, the swelling is not obvious.

If symptoms appear, go to the hospital in time

After the child has the above symptoms, parents must not deal with it themselves to avoid causing secondary harm. Treatment should be performed at a specialist orthopedic department with simple reduction and no need for anesthesia. After professional reduction, the child's pain disappears immediately, and the hand and upper limbs can be rotated freely, and some children may feel slight pain during the reduction process.

After joint reduction, parents should be careful to take care of it, because after the child appears to be dislocated for the first time, it will be easy to dislocate later. For children who have dislocated multiple times in a short period of time, it is recommended to maintain the forearm strap for one week.

Pay more attention to these in the prevention of traction elbows

First of all, parents should fully understand the causes of elbow pulling, try to pull clothes or support armpits when wearing clothes to pull children; when children cry or play with children, they should avoid suddenly lifting upwards or rotating their arms.

Secondly, let children participate in more outdoor activities, such as climbing slopes, throwing balls, pushing objects of appropriate weight, etc., preschool children can moderately jump rope to exercise the muscle strength around the elbow joint to strengthen the stability of the joint capsule and ligaments, so as to better protect the elbow joint and reduce the occurrence of dislocation.
