Types of Birth Injuries
|
One of the many other birth injuries that can result from a mistake during delivery is known as shoulder dystocia or Erb's palsy. Shoulder dystocia or Erb's palsy may occur when an inexperienced or improperly trained physician damages a newborn's brachial plexus, a delicate part of the shoulder. The improper use of forceps or other negligent actions during delivery may cause this injury. Brachial plexus injury results in pain, a limited ability to move a hand and/or arm, or an inability to lift an arm above shoulder level.
