Question
The child had an elbow twisting backwards at birth, which was only discovered after a month. The doctor could not determine the cause and only suggested hyperbaric oxygen therapy, hydrotherapy, and massage. Ask about the possible causes of this condition and treatment methods, as well as the feasibility of home self-treatment and whether the frequency of hyperbaric oxygen therapy once every ten days is appropriate. Also, mention that the mother had a marginal placenta previa during pregnancy.
Answer
This condition may be caused by soft tissue damage, with more severe damage and longer duration leading to slower recovery. It is recommended to rest more, avoid catching a cold, staying up late, and overexertion, adjust your attitude, avoid excessive stress, maintain emotional stability, and develop good living habits to gradually improve and alleviate symptoms, promoting normal recovery. For pediatric orthopedic correction, in addition to symptomatic treatment, daily care is also very important, including protecting the affected area, reasonable diet, etc., to reduce the chance of recurrence.
