Abstract
- Birth injuries of the shoulder and proximal humerus of infants can be difficult to evaluate on plain radiographs because of lack of ossification in the proximal humeral epiphysis. We here describe arthrography of the infant shoulder and advocate it as a useful diagnostic procedure in the evaluation of humeral fractures and brachial palsies. Two infants with birth injuries of the shoulder are described. The value of dynamic fluoroscopic evaluation of the injured joint in conjunction with arthrography is illustrated in evaluation of a brachial plexus palsy.
