Abstract

We have been able to find 291 cases of obstetric trauma when we analysed the 20,409 deliveries which took place in the Pitié maternity between 1971 and 1980. It has been shown that bony lesions did well in the long and short term but nerve lesions had a far less good prognosis. This pathology should become far less when it is possible to recognize better when the fetus is large and when such traumatising manoeuvres as high forceps and assisted deliveries of large breech babies are stopped.
