The assessment and treatment of nerve dysfunction after trauma around the elbow.
Clinical Orthopaedics and related Research 2000 January
Nerve dysfunction after trauma around the elbow can lead to significant long-term pain and functional deficit. Fortunately, most of these injuries are neurapraxias that will recover spontaneously after conservative treatment. The necessity and time frame for surgical intervention for specific patterns of nerve dysfunction remains controversial. Often surgical exploration exacerbates rather than alleviates the presenting nerve problem. Distal humeral shaft fractures, elbow dislocations, Monteggia fracture-dislocations, supracondylar fractures in children, and proximal forearm trauma all have been associated with various types of nerve injuries with a variable degree of recovery. The early recognition of nerve dysfunction combined with appropriate treatment measures is the key to successful outcome.
