Line 20:1 · "Complications" is under the wrong parent heading (found under "Treatment and prognosis").
Semicolons
suggestion

"Obstetric brachial plexus injuries are a relatively common type of birth trauma. Erb's palsy is often used as a synonym for obstetric brachial plexus injuries, given that it is the most common clinical presentation; other presentations (e.g. total root avulsion, Klumpke's palsy) are relatively common 6,8."
