AbstractA 14-year-old boy with a displaced medial epicondyle fracture without elbow dislocation was found to have an entrapped median nerve. Entrapment of the median nerve is a potential consequence of a displaced medial epicondyle fracture, even when there are no neu-rologic deficits on presentation. This provides additional support for the open reduction of these fractures rather than percutaneous treatment or non-operative management. The early identification and release of an interposed median nerve are imperative to prevent the catastrophic consequences of the upper extremity nerve palsy in children, as well as to optimize fracture healing and development.
