Abstract
The lesions of peripheral nerves in acute trauma of the elbow are not particularly frequent but are to be found especially in fractures more at risk where the fractured bone is close to the nerve (esp. supracondylar humerus fractures Gartland 3–4 in children and of distal humerus and Monteggia fractures in adults), in fracture-dislocations where there is an important distance among fragments and articular extremity. The diagnosis in acute peripheral nerve injury is clinical because instrumental examinations (EMG, RM) are of poor utility in this situation.
