Type-V Median Nerve Entrapment In A Pediatric Medial Condyle

Di: Amelia

Some meta-analyses have identified a greater risk to the ulnar nerve with medial wires, although lateral-only wires are also associated with median nerve injury [49].

Medial Condyle Fractures of the Humerus in Children

Median nerve entrapment can occur, especially in the pediatric population, and is commonly associated with entrapment in the fracture site or posterior to a displaced medial epicondyle, which may be visible on

Median Nerve Entrapment

Introduction In the pediatric population, medial humeral epicondylar fractures account for nearly 12 % of all elbow fractures [1]. The medial epicondyle is the anatomic origin of the flexor carpi radialis, flexor carpi ulnaris, flexor digitorum superficialis, palmaris associated with longus, part of the pronator teres, and the ulnar collateral ligament [2]. There are essentially 3 types of pediatric medial elbow fractures: medial epicondyle fracture 2,3,5 (usually seen in the setting of an elbow dislocation); medial condyle fracture 6, 7 , which

Pediatric supracondylar fractures are one of the most common traumatic fractures see in children and most commonly occur in children 5-7 years of age, usually from a fall on an outstretched hand. Treatment is usually closed reduction and percutanous pinning (CRPP), with the urgency depending on whether the hand remains perfused or not. Tinel sign of the elbow can evaluate for ulnar nerve entrapment. This test involves tapping the flexed medial elbow along the ulnar groove. A positive test will cause reproduction of the patient’s numbness, pain, or paresthesia along the ulnar nerve distribution. The hook test can be used to evaluate for biceps tendon tear. Motor function in median nerve is evaluated by asking the child to make a fist (rock), radial nerve by extending the fingers (paper) and ulnar nerve by abducting the fingers (scissors). The anterior interosseous nerve is evaluated by flexing the inter-phalangeal joint of the thumb and distal inter-phalangeal joint of the index finger (OK sign).

Although nerve injuries occur commonly with pediatric upper extremity fractures, there is very little existing literature to guide management of those nerve injuries that do not recover during The median nerve is the most commonly injured nerve, which is often due to a displaced supracondylar humerus fracture. Fracture patterns vary markedly among different age groups. Supracondylar fractures are the most common elbow fracture in children because of the relative strength of surrounding ligaments in comparison to bone.

The medial condyle of the femur is a large, rounded prominence located on the medial aspect of the distal femur. It plays a critical role in forming the knee joint by articulating with the medial condyle of the tibia. Larger than the lateral condyle, the medial condyle extends more distally and is involved in load distribution, joint stability, and movement of the lower limb.

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. Motor function in median nerve is evaluated by asking the child to make a fist (rock), nerve requiring some radial nerve by extending the fingers (paper) and ulnar nerve by abducting the fingers (scissors). The anterior interosseous nerve is evaluated by flexing the inter-phalangeal joint of the thumb and distal inter-phalangeal joint of the index finger

This randomized clinical trial assesses whether casting without reduction is noninferior to open surgical reduction and internal fixation for treatment of displaced medial epicondyle fractures in pediatric patients. Median nerve entrapment in the elbow is a known but rare complication of pediatric elbow dislocations. It is classified on the anatomical basis of entrapment. Due to a variety of factors, it is often diagnosed late. Because of this, substantial injury occurs to the nerve, requiring some form of restorative surgery in addition to release from the joint. Such nerve injury has

Type 4 Median Nerve Entrapment after Elbow Dislocation

Li L, Li W, Ma H, Zheng Y, Chen Y, Ke H and Guo Y (2025) Elbow medial approach open reduction and internal fixation with absorbable cannulated screws for the treatment of Kilfoyle II and III type medial condyle fractures of the humerus in children. Exploratory surgery revealed complete discontinuation of the radial nerve at the fracture site and entrapment of the nerve stumps in healed bone callus. A gap of 2 cm was observed between nerve stumps, and sural nerve cable grafting was performed with good results. A Medial Condyle Fracture is seen in pediatrics and represents a fracture or break of the medial condyle of the distal humerus above the elbow joint. This is commonly seen in throwing athletes with repetitive valgus stress but may also happen acutely.

A 7-year-old girl who sustained a posterior elbow dislocation associated with a medial epicondyle fracture and the subsequent intraosseous entrapment of her median nerve is described, demonstrating the potential for delay in diagnosis of the cause for neurological impairment following a relatively common injury in the pediatric population. Expand 6 PDF When his motor palsy and stiffness did not improve, MRI and ultrasound were obtained, which demonstrated entrapment of the median nerve in an osseous tunnel at the fracture site, compatible with Median nerve palsies with a supracondylar humerus fracture, elbow dislocation (3%, higher with concomitant medial epicondyle fracture) 11, and forearm fractures are often neuropraxic stretch injuries 12, therefore acute exploration is only indicated if entrapment is suspected or if the onset of the sensorimotor deficit occurred after

Matev sign is a radiological sign of entrapment of the median nerve behind the medial epicondyle in a dislocated elbow, where there is cortical depression along with interrupted periosteal reaction [9].

The median nerve can also become incarcerated in the elbow joint after reduction; three patterns were described by Fourrier: Type 1: dislocation between the trochlea and olecranon posteriorly, Type 2: encased in bone between the

Entrapment of the median nerve in association with medial epicondyle fracture and elbow dislocation has also been reported. 29,30 Long-term follow-up studies have identified the problem of late ulnar nerve symptoms (presumably because of compromise epicondyle is the of the ulnar nerve’s normal path around the epicondyle) occurring at a rate of 5%. 27,31 Royle Type-V Median Nerve Entrapment in a Pediatric Medial Condyle Fracture: A Case Report Article Oct 2018 Conor McCarthy James Kyriakedes R.
