Question
The palm cannot be turned upwards, only the left hand cannot flip, while the right hand is normal. This issue was discovered recently.
Answer
The symptoms you describe may likely be a disease of congenital fusion of the proximal radius. If diagnosed with this condition, there may be no definitive treatment (i.e., to achieve the movement of turning the palm upwards on its own). However, it can be checked to see if surgical treatment can be attempted. The appearance of pediatric orthopedic diseases severely affects the patient’s health. In addition to active treatment, patients need to pay more attention to daily care. It is important to rest adequately and enhance nutrition, and to avoid or reduce the risk of recurrence.
