Nerve high-resolution ultrasonography in peripheral nerve injuries associated with supracondylar humeral fractures in children
To evaluate nerve high-resolution ultrasonography (HRUS) as diagnostic tool in children with supracondylar humeral fractures (SHF)-related peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs), we selected at least one illustrative case for each upper limb nerve usually involved in SHF (i.e. median, radial and ulnar nerve), in which HRUS evaluation added a useful contribution in diagnostic and therapeutic choices. We selected four patients (3 males, 1 female, aged between 7 and 12 years). Involved nerves were median (2), radial (1) and ulnar (1).
