Question
A two-month-old baby has weakness in their right hand, with fingers that can move slightly but lack strength in gripping. What could be the problem?
Answer
If a two-month-old baby’s right hand is not flexible, cannot move when placed horizontally, and lacks strength in gripping, it might be due to a joint dislocation that occurred when the baby was held and jumped up last night. It is recommended to immediately take the baby to a local hospital’s orthopedic department for a re-examination, allowing the doctor to perform joint reduction. The hand should return to normal after reduction. In daily life, precautions should be taken to prevent forcefully pulling or tugging the baby’s arm.
