Bilateral humerus fractures as a result of birth trauma are a rare occurrence in neonatal care, necessitating special consideration due to their potential long-term implications. Birth-related injuries involving neonatal skeletal structures, especially fractures of the humerus, require special attention and a comprehensive approach to diagnosis and management. Here, we present the case of a newborn female child who experienced bilateral humerus fractures due to birth trauma. The subsequent management involved the application of splints to immobilize the affected arms, a standard practice in the treatment of fractures.
