쇄골 골절에서의 팔자 붕대에 의한 상완 신경총 손상 1예 = A Case Report of Brachial Plexus Injury after Applying Figure-of-Eight Bandage for Newborn Clavicle Fracture - A Case Report -

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

A clavicle fracture is a relatively common injury that occurs in any age. It occurs in 0.2%~4.4% of newborns. Newborn clavicle fractures require no or little intervention except re-examinations and repeated radiographies. Our case involves a brachial plexus injury after applying a figure-of-eight bandage for a clavicle fracture of an infant. A 15-day-old male baby was referred to our department for the left arm weakness and the left axillar skin necrosis caused by a figure-of-eight bandage, which was applied for his clavicle fracture. The fifteen days after applying the figure-of-eight bandage, the electrodiagnostic study showed a brachial plexopathy. The brachial plexus was compressed by the figure-of-eight bandage. We report a case of a brachial plexus injury due to compression of the nerves from applying the figure-ofeight bandage for the displaced mid-shaft clavicle fracture in a neonate.
