Recently found that the child's palm cannot rotate upwards, what should I do?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've noticed that my child's palm cannot rotate upwards. I would like to request the kindness of a good doctor for guidance to help my child recover as soon as possible, so they can grow up happily like normal children. Thank you for your help.

Doctor's answer:

Alright, based on your description and the pictures, this condition affects the rotational function of the forearm, generally causing the forearm to be in a pronated state. Surgery cannot effectively improve the range of rotation, meaning it's not possible to move the forearm like a normal one. It can only change the direction of the rotational alignment, such as changing the child's palm from facing downward to slightly upward. For specific details, you should take your child to the hospital for a thorough examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
