title: Greenstick fracture of the forearm with median nerve entrapment.
abstract: A case of bony median nerve entrapment is presented. Roentgenograms of a greenstick fracture without dislocation lured the examiner to ignore sensory deficit. Finally, delayed surgical exploration revealed complete nerve entrapment. A nerve graft was performed to reduce the functional loss.
