Combined entrapment of the median and anterior interosseous nerves in a


pediatric both-bone forearm fracture. Gainor-B-J. Olson-S. School of Medicine, Department of Surgery, University of Missouri, J-Orthop-Trauma. 1990. 4(2). P 197-9. Unrecognized entrapment of the median nerve and its anterior interosseous branch in the midportion of the forearm occurred in a 12-year-old girl following reduction of a closed both-bone fracture. Following delayed diagnosis, treatment required secondary neurolysis and microscopic neurorrhaphy. Meticulous prereduction and postreduction neurovascular examination is recommended to prevent this unique complication.
