Bone manipulation without skin incision. X-rays ensure the correct position. The procedure, which could be short, requires the patient to be sedated. The patient will be supine on the table, and an arm board may be used.
Patients with dislocations may have signs of neurological compromise, specifically the median nerve. The median nerve originates from the Brachial Plexus and enters the forearm with the brachial artery. It innervates the skin of the palmer side of the thumb, the index and middle fingers, half the ring finger, and the nail beds of these fingers.
