Abstract
An anterior interosseous nerve palsy occurring as a complication of a closed both bone forearm fracture in a child is presented. Surgical exploration showed that a bone spike from the proximal fragment was perforating the median nerve. The fractured radius was reduced and inspection of the nerve under the microscope showed no fasicular disruption. Complete motor recovery occurred in 4 months and sensibility had fully returned at 10 months after the operation.
