10 Dislocated Elbow Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #6: Reduced Range of Motion
If after a fall or a blow to your elbow, you are unable to use the elbow as well as you could before, it is probably because you have a dislocated elbow. Dislocation of the elbow will usually lead to reduced range of motion. The disruption of the structural stability of the elbow due to dislocation causes some disability to perform.
This can arise as a result of pain, weakness, and poor coordination. The extent of the reduced range of motion will depend on the type of dislocation. In a complete dislocation, the elbow may be so painful that you cannot make any movement while movement is easier for a partially dislocated elbow.
