Abstract

Median nerve palsy is a well known complication associated with fractures of the distal radius.
However due to their low frequency, we sometimes hesitate in making therapeutic decisions about them.
We analyzed 11 cases of median nerve palsy associated with distal radius fractures, from the view point of diagnoses, course and therapeutic results.
