Intraosseous entrapment of the median nerve is an uncommon complication of elbow dislocation and fractures. The condition is seen to occur in adolescent age group with a remote history of trauma. We report two rare cases of type 2 intraosseous median nerve entrapment. Though the diagnosis of median neuropathy is made with clinical tests and neurophysiological studies, however exact site of entrapment and presurgical mapping of nerve is done accurately with MR neurography. Imaging thus plays a pivotal role in management of this condition.

“…There have only been three previous reports of sural nerve grafting in median nerve reconstruction after entrapment in the elbow (3,5,7). More often, end-to-end anastomosis is chosen to reconstruct the median nerve (8)(9)(10)(11)(12).…”

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 been treated in a variety of ways including neurolysis, end-to-end anastomosis and nerve grafting. To date, there has been no conclusive evidence in the literature that one method should be preferred over another. A case of median nerve entrapment that was treated with sural nerve grafting is presented. In a review of the literature, previous treatment of such cases is discussed and compared.
