Question

A nine-and-a-half-month-old girl baby may cry for a while while being dressed, possibly due to her hand being pulled. Is this behavior severe? Could it be that a bone has been pulled apart?

Answer

Since a baby’s growth and development are not yet fully complete, the development of each joint may vary, making it unlikely for a bone to be pulled apart. It could be that the meniscus of the joint is damaged. If the baby’s injured hand has not been subjected to excessive movement, it might be considered a radial head subluxation, a common injury that can be checked for diagnosis. The above is a suggestion for the question “Is there anything wrong if a nine-and-a-half-month-old baby cries while dressing?” I hope this helps you, and wish you good health!
