    AbstractTwo cases of intra-articular median nerve entrapment after reduction of elbow dislocations in children are described. The diagnosis of median nerve entrapment is often delayed. A proximal median nerve deficit, limited passive elbow motion, and an associated medial epicondyle avulsion after reduction of a child's posterior elbow dislocation should alert the surgeon to the possibility of nerve entrapment. Optimal management of this problem consists of early surgical exploration and nerve release.
