This is a case report of a four-year-old boy who suffered a forearm fracture managed with closed reduction and casting for six weeks. Postoperatively, the patient showed symptoms of median nerve affection which was misinterpreted as neuropraxia. Ultrasonography of the forearm revealed that the median nerve was trapped in the radius fracture site. The patient underwent a second operation with neurolysis and nerve grafting. This case report highlights the use of ultrasonography in the diagnostics of nerve entrapment neuropathy.
