Next Steps

Follow-up

Should initial reduction attempts be unsuccessful and a splint is required, follow-up should be done in 24-48 hours.

• If the child continues to have any loss of function of the affected arm, bruising, deformities, or other unexpected or unusual findings, a reevaluation is in order.



• Should your child be experiencing this condition time after time, the doctor may put the arm in a cast to keep it immobile and discuss surgery to "tighten" the annular ligament.
