Type 4 median nerve entrapment after elbow dislocation.
A rare case of median nerve entrapment after posterior elbow dislocation is reported. Nerve entrapment was both in the healed medial epicondyle fracture and within the elbow joint and we recommend placing this type of entrapment separately in an extended classification of median nerve entrapment following elbow dislocation.
