10 Dislocated Elbow Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #9: Loss of Strength
Although a freshly dislocated elbow cannot perform as well as an uninjured elbow, elbow weakness is usually the result of an elbow dislocation that was not treated on time. Elbow dislocation will normally include ligament and muscle injuries. This leads to disuse of these tissues. Besides, the dislocation may cause some of these tissues to be partially or fully detached from the bones.
Left in such a state for long, proper coordination and use of these ligaments and muscles is lost. This leads to weakening of the elbow and reduction of its capacity to perform. To increase the chances of full recovery from an elbow dislocation, seek treatment as soon as possible.
