Question

What are the treatment methods for a 5-year-old child with partial dislocation of the elbow cap?

Answer

The treatment for partial dislocation of the elbow cap in children mainly involves manual reduction, which does not require anesthesia. After reduction, the elbow and forearm can move freely without any residual symptoms. It is recommended that parents should be cautious to avoid forcefully pulling their child’s elbow joint to prevent recurrent dislocation and the formation of a habituated condition.
