The occurrence of 4 bone fractures associated with birth by Caesarean section (CS) prompted us to examine the incidence and predisposing factors of bone injuries sustained during birth.The 4 cases with fractures were evaluated retrospectively and discussed in combination with a short review of the literature.With the increasing number of Caesarean sections the incidence of birth trauma has decreased. Nevertheless, when performing a CS there is still a risk of serious trauma to the neonate, including bone fractures. A Caesarean section for breech presentation constitutes a predisposition for femoral fractures. When diagnosed early and treated properly, the prognosis for these fractures is good without sequelae and one can expect a satisfactory clinical outcome for the child. We suggest that the possibility of this complication be mentioned when counselling the mother and getting informed consent. |
