Fracture néonatale de jambe et bride amniotique : à propos d’un cas et revue de la littérature

Neonatal open leg fracture in amniotic band syndrome a case report with a revised classification. Orthopedic-Traumatology Surgery Department – Batna Hospital Laboratory of Acquired and Constitutional Genetic Diseases (MAGECA). Faculty of Medicine. Batna 2 University

“…Regarding our case, we should rather use the term "leg fracture". Coherently, many cases reported in the literature, including ours, all consolidated the bone by 2 to 3 months after the surgical intervention, and sometimes as early as the third week [4][5][6][7][8][9][10], regardless of the nature of the treatment (orthopedic [10] or surgical [8]). Fractures are likely to occur late in pregnancy or during labor due to the increasing mechanical stress.…”

“…Only two similar cases with bone fracture have been reported in the literature [9]. The open leg fracture in amniotic disease is exceedingly rare.…”
