Instead, when the baby wouldn’t arrive, the doctor applied excessive traction and twisted the baby’s head, which damaged the nerves leading from the spinal cord to the baby’s arm. Nerve graft surgery, using a nerve from the baby’s leg to repair the damaged nerves, resulted in partial, although limited, recovery of function.
