How do babies determine if they have a dislocated joint?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Generally, a dislocated arm affects the arm's function. It is recommended to gently move the affected arm and observe if the child shows signs of resistance or pain. If the child cries or shows resistance, it may indicate a dislocation. Additionally, check both shoulders for symmetry. If one side is lower, it suggests a dislocation.
