Patient's question:
In the past two months, the child has dislocated their right shoulder twice while playing and once on their left, but they haven't gone to the hospital for a check-up yet.Doctor's answer:
After a joint dislocation, if the reduction is successful, you can lift your arm normally. However, if there is damage to the joint capsule, it may result in a partial dislocation. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital for X-rays and a re-examination. If the reduction is good, you need to use a triangular bandage to suspend the upper limb, with the elbow joint bent at 90 degrees, and a cotton pad placed in the armpit. It should be fixed for 3 weeks to allow the joint capsule to heal, so that this can prevent further dislocation.
