Case Report: This report presents a 17-year-old woman who underwent orthopedic surgery with general anesthesia in semilateral position due to her left femoral fracture. Post operation, she could not move her left shoulder, arm, forearm, and wrist.

Physical therapy started 3 days later and at the end of the third, fifth and sixth week, the patient regained partial activity of her shoulder, arm and hyposthesia respectively. 7 weeks after the start of physical therapy, she could move her shoulder and arm completely and was discharged from the hospital.
