Causes

Erb's Palsy is caused by damage to a nerve bundle near the neck (the brachial plexus). These nerves control arm, shoulder, and hand movements and sensation. Erb's Palsy causes weakness, numbness, or paralysis of the shoulder and arm.

This condition could be the result of various medical mistakes during labor and birth such as forceps use and a C section that is performed too soon or a doctor using a vacuum extractor improperly during vaginal birth. However, the majority of cases of erb's palsy can be prevented. Midwives, doctors, nurses and other medical professionals are held to the responsibility of maintaining an excellent standard of care in the delivery room. They must ensure that the shoulders of the baby are delivered via the vaginal canal and that they don't become stuck or lodged into the pelvic bones of the mother's.

Some researchers suggest that Erb's Palsy may be due to contractions of the mother or the positioning of pregnant women. However these theories haven't been proven. Additionally, it is important to remember that to prevail in a medical malpractice lawsuit plaintiffs must prove that the doctor's aversion to accepted practices was the primary reason for their injuries.

A birth injury lawyer can aid in the event that you believe your child has suffered from an injury that is preventable, like Erb's paralysis. A successful lawsuit could give your family financial compensation to pay for the medical costs of your child and give you a sense of closure.

Diagnosis

Erb's palsy is caused by damage to the brachial nerve, a network of nerves in the arm and shoulder. These nerves can get stretched or torn during an arduous delivery. This can lead to weakness or paralysis of the affected arm. Doctors are required to properly diagnose this condition as soon as they can.

The difficulties of childbirth are the most common reason for this. It is usually caused when the fetus's size is higher than what is expected for a vaginal birth or when the baby's shoulders get stuck during delivery. This is known as shoulder dystocia and it is an important risk factor for Erb's palsy.

If a doctor applies excessive pressure or fails to detect shoulder dystocia, it may cause injury to the upper nerves of the brachialplexus. Erb's palsy can result. If the doctor's negligence was to blame, he or she can be held responsible for any permanent harm.

To be able to file a successful medical malpractice case you must show that the doctor's deviation from accepted practice caused your injuries. In the case of Erb's paralysis, you have to show that the doctor's actions or inactions caused your child to suffer an injury to the brachial plexus's upper nerves. This is a common claim that could result in a significant settlement and life-long treatment for your child.

Treatment

In the majority of cases, sooner the condition is diagnosed and treated the better the result. If left untreated the condition can progress to permanent tightening of the muscles (contractures) or even complete or partial paralysis. The most commonly used form of treatment is physical therapy, and occasionally surgery.
