  • Title: Complete division of the radial nerve associated with a closed fracture of the humeral shaft in a child.
    Author: Ogawa BK, Kay RM, Choi PD, Stevanovic MV.
    Journal: J Bone Joint Surg Br; 2007 Jun; 89(6):821-4. PubMed ID: 17613512.
    Abstract:
    The management of closed fractures of the humerus with an associated nerve palsy remains controversial. With very little written about this injury in children, we present the case of a three-year-old child with a closed humeral shaft fracture in whom surgical exploration and reconstruction of the radial nerve with a sural nerve graft was performed three months after injury. The child regained full function. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such case to be reported in the English literature.
