520 |a Birth injuries are not uncommon incidences. Especially, injury to humerus is rare in cesarean sections as compared to that in vaginal deliveries. However, in some difficult extractions, injury may be sustained by the newborn. We report a case of right humeral shaft fracture in a term female newborn who was admitted to the emergency department with limited mobility in her right arm and lack of Moro reflex on the right side. This report demonstrates a case of birth trauma-induced fracture of humerus during cesarean section. Suspicion and early diagnosis and treatment are critical to reduce complications.
