Symptom #10: Stiffness

Stiffness in the elbow joint is one of the dislocated elbow symptoms that can occur if the injury remains untreated for long. The immune system is always working to heal injuries in the body. In the case of a dislocated elbow, injuries may occur on various surfaces, including bones, the elbow joint capsule, muscles, and ligaments.

In its quest to heal these injuries, the immune system may cause formation of scar tissue, thickening of the elbow capsule, and calcification of muscles and ligaments. Any of these can interfere with the elbow’s movements and lead to stiffening of the joint. You can avoid this eventuality to a great extent by getting your dislocated elbow fixed without delay.
