Brief Answer:
Explanation provided.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through the brief details that you have mentioned. There are multiple issues to consider.
* Shoulder dystocia is often seen and could result from a difficult delivery. The shoulder may or may not be prone to dislocation but certain active or passive exercises will help in managing it. Please check if you wanted to say shoulder dystocia or dislocation.
* Developmentally, the kidneys move from lower down to up into behind the upper abdomen. In case something interfered with this migration, a kidney could be stuck in the pelvis. However, the kidney could still be fully functional. In that case no intervention is needed. However, complications or possibly other developmental variations could be present and a detailed evaluation is needed.
Let me know if you have any specific queries.
Regards
