AB The  differential  diagnosis  for  a  flail,  or  nonmoving,  upper  extremity  is  fairly  short  and  includes  neonatal  brachial  plexus  palsy  (NBPP),  fracture,  distal  humeral  transphyseal  separation,  and  bone  or  joint  infection.  The  history  and  physical  are  usually  adequate  to  make  the  diagnosis,  although  imaging  and  laboratory  examinations  can  help.
