Case: A 12-year-old girl presented with a both-bone forearm fracture after a fall. Fracture healing occurred, but nerve injury was not addressed until 18 months after injury. Magnetic resonance imaging and electromyography yielded a median nerve injury, and she underwent nerve reconstruction with sural nerve grafting. She improved but continued to have deficits beyond her 1-year follow-up. Conclusion: Both-bone forearm fractures are a common fracture pattern with rare complications. Clinicians should have a high index of suspicion with persistent nerve symptoms and consider further investigation, given the importance of early nerve repair. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
