Abstract
Unrecognized entrapment of the median nerve and its anterior interosseous branch in the midportion of the forearm occurred in a 12-year-old girl following reduction of a closed both-bone fracture. Following delayed diagnosis, treatment required secondary neurolysis and microscopic neurorrhaphy. Meticulous prereduction and postreduction neurovascular examination is recommended to prevent this unique complication.
