Brachial Plexus Injuries During Birth

In other cases resulting in this type of injury, the baby is too large to fit through the birth canal or has become stuck and a cesarean section has not been ordered. As a result of mishandling of the fetus with excessive force, a brachial plexus injury can result. This type of injury significantly increases the chances that Erb’s Palsy will develop.
