Hudgell Solicitors Can Help You Make an Erb's Palsy Claim

Erb's palsy is an injury to the nerve system in the shoulder, arm and hand. It can lead to paralysis as well as a variety of other issues.

Medical negligence can cause this birth injury. It is often linked to an uneasy or rush delivery, especially when the baby's shoulders get stuck during labour.

Causes

Most pregnancies and births are a breeze, but, on rare occasions something goes wrong. If your child was born with a disability that was caused by medical negligence, such as Erb's palsy, Hudgell Solicitors can help you claim compensation for their ongoing suffering.

Erb's palsy is a weakness that causes paralysis of varying degrees in the arm and shoulder, affecting the brachial plexus nerves. These nerves transmit electrical signals to the muscles, allowing them to move. Abrasions to the brachialplexus can result in the inability to move and grip the hand that is affected.

There are several causes of Erb's palsy. Erb's syndrome can be caused by shoulder Dystocia, which is a condition that occurs when the baby's skull becomes stuck above the mother’s pubic bone. This is more likely with certain risk factors, such as gestational diabetes or the size of a baby or infant. Shoulder dystocia can be a medical emergency. It is essential for doctors to be aware of this and know what to do to avoid complications. It can also be caused by the use of forceps or a vacuum extractor during labour or through an emergency Cesarean section.

Signs and symptoms

Symptoms of Erb's palsy are a lack of movement in the affected hand or arm and a weak grip strength. Symptoms typically manifest about six to twelve months following birth.

The brachialplexus is a set of nerves that runs from the spine and down both sides of the neck. They control movements and sensations in the arm, hand and fingers. These nerves, if damaged could cause weakness or partial paralysis of the affected arm or hand.

It is often the result of birth-related medical errors. For instance a doctor pressing on the baby's shoulder too much (shoulder dystocia). It can also happen when the baby is placed in the 'waiter' tip position during delivery which places strain on the upper trunk C5-C6 nervous system, which is part of the Brachial Plexus.

Most infants who sustain an injury to their stretch will recover within six to 12 months however, there are some cases that are severe enough to require surgical intervention with a nerve graft to fix the damaged nerves. If the nerves that are damaged don't get repaired the child may suffer a permanent disability that affects their ability to move their arm.

Diagnosis

For children suffering from Erb's Palsy there are a number of treatments to lessen the effects, but the damage is not able to be completely repaired. Some infants suffer from a significant impairment and are unable to move their hand, arm or fingers.

The symptoms are caused by an injury to the brachial plexus which connects all the muscles of the upper limb, with the exception for the trapezius. The injury typically affects the upper trunk of nerves C5 and C6. It is less likely to affect C7. This is the most common sign of Erb's palsy, a waiter's tip type hand which cannot pronate or bend the forearm. In some instances, nerves damaged may also result in Horner syndrome. It is evident by a drooping pupil and a constricted face.

It is possible to file a claim for medical negligence during the birth process that results in the child being diagnosed with Erb's Palsy. This is because this condition is often caused by excessive force being imposed on the baby during the delivery process. This can include using vacuum extraction (ventouse) or forceps used incorrectly. It can also include the doctor not controlling shoulder dystocia properly, or deciding to give birth via a breech or vaginal birth in a situation where a caesarean birth would be more suitable.

Treatment

The brachialplexus's nerves control the movement and feel of the hands and arm. If a baby is identified as having Erb's Palsy, it means that nerves are injured. The majority of babies recover within 6 to 12 months, but there are some who suffer from a permanent impairment that restricts movement and feeling in their arm.

Physical therapy is a method to improve the range of motion. It can be done in many ways, including stretching exercises, as well as passive exercises. A physiotherapist can also suggest an extension splint which will aid in movement and avoid stiffness. Surgery may be necessary in the most severe cases to repair damaged nerves by the use of a nerve graft.

A claim for compensation can aid a child suffering from an Erb's Palsy injury live life to the fullest extent and access essential equipment, medical care, and assistance. If you believe that your child's condition is the result of an error made by a doctor at birth, you might be able to claim an Erb's Palsy claim for monetary damages.

Compensation
