[A rare form of median nerve injury during elbow dislocation].

The following is a report concerning a rare complication in the case of an elbow luxation. In the course of repositioning, the nervus medianus slipped into the joint cavity, causing total paralysis of the nerve medianus. Operative revision of the nerve and restoration through interfascular nerve transplantation. Results one half a year after the operation are already satisfactory. Since this complication does not sand in immediate connection with the accident, and in consequence representing a serious injury, besides being very rare--the literature produced only 6 cases--we see ourselves induced to further discuss the mechanism of injury and the problems of such an accident, and to point out the necessity of an early revision.
