Greenstick fracture of the forearm with median nerve entrapment. 1988

Unfalkrankenhaus Salzburg-Allgemeine Unfallversicherungsanstalt, Salzburg, Austria.

A case of bony median nerve entrapment is presented. Roentgenograms of a greenstick fracture without dislocation lured the examiner to ignore sensory deficit. Finally, delayed surgical exploration revealed complete nerve entrapment. A nerve graft was performed to reduce the functional loss.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008475 Median Nerve A major nerve of the upper extremity. In humans, the fibers of the median nerve originate in the lower cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord (usually C6 to T1), travel via the brachial plexus, and supply sensory and motor innervation to parts of the forearm and hand. Median Nerves,Nerve, Median,Nerves, Median
D009408 Nerve Compression Syndromes Mechanical compression of nerves or nerve roots from internal or external causes. These may result in a conduction block to nerve impulses (due to MYELIN SHEATH dysfunction) or axonal loss. The nerve and nerve sheath injuries may be caused by ISCHEMIA; INFLAMMATION; or a direct mechanical effect.
