Abstract

Upper limb palsy in the newborn may be caused by a large number of pathologies, such as fracture, brachial plexus palsy or infection. The diagnosis of neonatal osteoarticular infection is extremely challenging, especially in the shoulder joint. The lack of obvious clinical signs can frequently result in a delay in the diagnosis, which can lead to important sequelae. A retrospective study of nine patients with a history of neonatal septic arthritis of the shoulder was performed. All patients were treated at the same institution.
