TLDR
Except for one patient with persistent radial paraesthesiae, full spontaneous recovery occurred in 7 patients who had sustained either anterior interosseous, posterior interOSseous or radial nerve lesions, and the mean time of follow-up was three years and nine months.Abstract:
Twenty-one patients with acute injury of either the median, ulnar, radial, anterior interosseous or posterior interosseous nerves associated with 1540 closed fractures or dislocations of the elbow have been reviewed. The mean time of follow-up was three years and nine months. Nine patients, 6 of whom had ulnar nerve lesions, had persistent evidence of nerve damage. Five patients sustained median nerve lesions complicating supracondylar fractures of the humerus. One patient, in whom there was no evidence of nerve recovery at five months, made a full recovery following neurolysis. Of the 9 patients who sustained ulnar nerve lesions, 2 required neurolysis and anterior transposition of the nerve, at two months and five months respectively, to facilitate recovery. Except for one patient with persistent radial paraesthesiae, full spontaneous recovery occurred in 7 patients who had sustained either anterior interosseous, posterior interosseous or radial nerve lesions.read more

Acute neurovascular complications with supracondylar humerus fractures in children
TL;DR: Anterior interosseus nerve injury was the most common nerve injury in this series of pediatric supracondylar fractures and may be more common than previously recognized and warrants a careful initial neurologic examination to identify this lesion.

Dislocations of the elbow in children
TL;DR: A total of 33 children were treated for acute traumatic dislocation of the elbow between 1994 and 2002; 30 dislocations were posterior and three anterior and the results were excellent to good in 22 patients, fair in ten and poor in one.

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome: Current Concepts.
TL;DR: Revision cubital tunnel surgery, most often consisting of submuscular transposition, may improve symptoms, however, ulnar nerve recovery after revision cubital Tunnel surgery is less consistent than that after primary cubitals tunnel surgery.

The ulnar nerve in elbow trauma.
Robert Shin,David Ring +1 more
TL;DR: Ulnar nerve decompression and transposition are becoming an integral part of many posttraumatic reconstructive elbow procedures, but most recommendations for management of the ulnar nerve are based on retrospective reviews, anecdotal reports, and expert opinion.

Neurovascular injuries in type III humeral supracondylar fractures in children.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed radiographic records of 210 consecutive children treated for Type III extension humeral supracondylar fractures during a 66-month period to determine (1) the incidence of neural and vascular injuries associated with this fracture; (2) the frequency of the type of nerve injured; and (3) the relationship of fracture displacement to vascular compromise.

Surgical Disorders of The Peripheral Nerves
TL;DR: A cleaning system and method includes a screen for removing lint and other large solids from cleaning solvents and control means controls the discharge rate of the solvent from the receptacle, either in response to the liquid level in the sump or to the flow rates of the liquid being returned to the receptacles.

Children's fractures
TL;DR: Adolescent medicine would have been valuable if it had succeeded in emphasising aspects relevant to the adolescent, but the result is superficial and heavily dependent on lists that also lack perspective.

Isolated Neuritis of the Anterior Interosseous Nerve
Leslie G. Kiloh,Samuel Nevin +1 more
TL;DR: It is probable that examples of neuritis of the nerve occur more commonly than is generally recognized, for the resulting disability is not severe, accommodation occurring quickly in most patientsb while recovery follows in many.
