Shoulder Dystocia

During delivery, the infant's passage through the birth canal can be stopped by the impaction of its shoulder(s) against the mother's pubic bone, sacral promontory, or both. Injury to the brachial plexus (a network of nerves that innervates the arm) may sometimes occur because of unusually powerful uterine contractions or rapid fetal descent; however, brachial plexus injury may also result from improper obstetrician interaction. When excessive downward traction on the head of an infant with shoulder dystocia is applied (a violation of the standard of care), the delicate brachial plexus is stretched and injured. The same may also occur when vacuum extraction is used in this situation.
