Abstract

Anterior interosseous nerve paralysis observed in a 13-year-old boy with supracondylar fracture of the left humerus was reported. During the conservative management at a bone setter of the fracture, the gradual loss of pinch action of the thumb and index finger became conspicuous, and with operative reduction of the fracture and release of the fibrous compression and adhesion to the nerve at the ulnar head of the pronator teres, the paralysis could be relieved.
