my granddaughter is six months old and it seems like her arms are twisted outward from her shoulders down. when arm is relaxed it hangs with hand pointed out with palms facing up. Her doctor has never mentioned anything was wrong but seems every odd to me.
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns. Your description suggest a possibility of dislocated shoulder. Ask the parents for any history of fall, If not it could be a congenital dislocation. I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician at earliest and get evaluated. We have to do an X-ray to make a diagnosis. Most of the cases can be reduced manually without any surgery. Rarely surgery may be needed to correct the deformity. Both cases require immobilization in a cast for few weeks. Hope I have answered your query. Regards. Chat Doctor.
