Epifisiólise proximal do úmero como causa rara de fratura no parto – Relato de caso

Abstract: Proximal humeral epiphysiolysis (PHE) are rare at 10.1/100,000 births and there are few cases described in the literature. We present the case of a newborn diagnosed with PHE submitted to conservative treatment. In six weeks he had complete mobility and extensive bone callus. As a very rare situation, rapid diagnosis is imperative, for which ultrasound is decisive and the attitude must be conservative and expectant, given a very rapid and expected evolution towards consolidation for normal function. This case reinforces the previous knowledge that these lesions typically evolve favorably, and post-traumatic sequelae are not expected.
