Home has a cute treasure
Parents hold their children's arms high
Carrying a child's arm on a swing, etc
These are common "actions"
I don't know
These hand-holding movements
It is a dangerous operation in which the child is affected by pulling the elbow
Wang Xiaofei, attending physician of the Department of Orthopedics of Langfang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, said
I have received a number of patients recently
Due to stretching of the elbow (commonly known as dislocation)
Children who come to see the doctor
Remind parents to be sure
Avoid doing these dangerous operations
Hebei Incident! Mom dresses the 2-year-old
Pull out the pulling 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 when 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.
If these symptoms appear, go to the hospital in time
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 radius small head due to excessive ligament pulling, resulting in corresponding symptoms. For example, the child's forearm suddenly cannot move, sagging to one side can not be lifted, the hand can not do the rotation of the action, the pain point points to the outside of the elbow, do not let the parents touch, the swelling is not obvious, etc.
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.
Prevents elbow pulling
Pay more attention to these things
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, strengthen the stability of the joint capsule and ligaments, so as to better protect the elbow joint and reduce the occurrence of dislocation.
Keep your child safe
These things should also be known
There is nothing trivial about the safety of your child
