M Kaplan et al. Pediatr Radiol. 1987.

Abstract

A term infant was delivered uneventfully by repeat Cesarian section. At the age of 1 week there was clinical and radiographic evidence of fractures of the left tibia and right radius. The fractures most likely occurred during the cesarian section. Birth trauma should not be excluded on the basis of Cesarian section delivery.
