Newborn brachial plexus injury

Patient's question:

Because of giving birth in the hospital, the doctor pulled the arm, resulting in brachial plexus nerve injury. The patient is a newborn who has only been two days old.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, in this case, it is recommended to apply neurotrophic drugs as early as possible. Most children have a good prognosis and can fully recover within 3-6 months. However, muscle weakness, especially in the deltoid muscle, may persist for a long time. Some children may leave behind sequelae.
