Posterior shoulder BPI may occur in spontaneous deliveries without instrumentation; leaves open maternal expulsive forces as a mechanism.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights that brachial plexus injury can occur to the posterior shoulder during spontaneous vaginal delivery without forceps or manual rotation.
Hankins et al. (1995) conducted a case report in Brachial plexus palsy involving the posterior shoulder (n=1). Spontaneous vaginal delivery with McRobert's maneuver was evaluated on Brachial plexus injury involving the posterior shoulder. A spontaneous vaginal delivery using only the McRobert's maneuver resulted in a brachial plexus injury to the posterior shoulder, hypothesized to be caused by maternal expulsive forces.
