Abstract
Shoulder dystocia continues to challenge obstetrical providers and therefore the management must evolve. The available literature demonstrates clear value in both simulation training and having a clear algorithmic approach. Similarly, the available literature suggests that delivery of the posterior arm should be prioritized. Several new techniques such as the Menticoglou maneuver, Gaskin's maneuver, and the posterior axilla sling traction technique offer obstetrical choices after more traditional techniques have failed.
