A shoulder dystocia is an event during labor and delivery in which the newborn\u2019s head is delivered but the anterior shoulder of the baby gets stuck on the mother\u2019s public bone. In that case, the shoulders fail to deliver after the baby\u2019s head. <\/p>\n

Under these circumstances, Carroll then performed the McRoberts and Woods’ screw maneuvers, which are two of the usual maneuvers when this complication arises. \u201cDystocia\u201d means a slow or difficult labor or birth.<\/p>\n
