    AbstractThe median nerve entrapment after elbow-dislocation is rare. We report two cases of fracture dislocation elbow completed by entrapment of median nerve occurred after reduction in two children. For both cases, the diagnosis of entrapment was made some months later after injury. Median nerve graft was performed after nerve resection. The nerve recovery was satisfactory at the final follow-up. This nerve complication should be suspected systematically before and after reduction of all dislocation of the elbow in the children. The indication of nerve release or nerve graft depends on the entrapment and the delay of the palsy.
