Guest aymaniham Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Dear Colleague, Have you face a spontaneous femur fracture after CS delivery? ie without predisposing bone disease! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Are you sure it was spontaneous? Sometimes during a difficult extraction of baby through CS femur fractures have been reported. Especially seen when the presentation is breech and the obstetrician has a difficult time extracting the baby and has to manipulate the baby a lot holding the lower limbs.

hehady Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Femoral fractures after CS are ususally iatrogenic due to difficuty in extracting the baby. Otherwise multiple fracture can be seen in diseases like oseogenesis imperfecta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Johansson Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I have experience from a similar case too. The fracture was iatrogenic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Arif Faquih Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 HI In my experience most of the time it is iatrogenic. Usually in difficult breech extraction specially if the obstetrician has taken a small incision. Dr Arif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I am also aware of another cause of iatrogenic femur fracture. Caused by a NIBP cuff left on the limb of a very active growing preterm. The cuff kept inflating and deflating at intervals of 15 mins and with the neonate actively moving the limb, femur fracture resulted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkhawahur Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I beleive that it is iatrogenic too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
