Patient's question:
A two-month-old baby has weakness in the right hand; the fingers can move slightly, but grasping is weak. The arm is weak—what could be the issue! Last night, when I carried him and lifted him, it might have injured his hand. At the time, he cried very hard, and after comforting him, he fell asleep. This morning, I noticed that the two hands were clearly different in strength—the right hand couldn’t move freely like the left and kept hanging weakly without any movement. What part of his body might have been injured? Urgently!Doctor's answer:
The baby is two months old. The right hand is not flexible when placed horizontally and cannot move. The grasp is weak. It is likely that the joint dislocation was caused by pulling the baby. It is recommended that you take the baby to a local regular hospital for surgical follow-up immediately. The doctor can perform joint reduction, and it will return to normal after the reduction. Pay attention to preventing forceful pulling of the baby's arm in daily life. The above is advice on this issue. It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
