What is the treatment for shoulder getting stuck during delivery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shoulder Dystocia: Shoulder dystocia occurs when the shoulder gets "stuck" during delivery. There are several maneuvers an OB can try to delivery the baby, or a c-section may be required. It can be associated with fracture and injury to the nerves of the brachial plexus.
