Incidence and risk factors of clavicle, humerus fractures, and brachial plexus injuries due to birth trauma in the neonatal period
Our study results show that larger head circumference increases the risk of clavicle fractures and BPI. Higher birth weight and lower APGAR scores at 1 min also raise BPI incidence. Newborns with these risk factors should undergo a thorough evaluation.
