What kinds of fractures can occur in an infant during birth?

Clavicular, brachial: Upper extremity fractures as above are most common in cases of shoulder dystocia. Other fractures are much less common and can occur with manipulation during delivery of a breech fetus from the vaginal or abdominal route.
