Nerve injuries associated with pediatric supracondylar humeral fractures: a meta-analysis. Babal JC1, Mehlman CT, Klein G. Of nerve injury associated with extension-type fractures, anterior interosseous neurapraxia ranks highest, whereas of flexion-type neuropathy, ulnar nerve injury predominates. We confirm that medial pinning carries the greater overall risk of nerve injury as compared with lateral-only pinning and that the ulnar nerve is at risk of injury in medially pinned patients. We additionally suggest that lateral pinning carries neurapraxic risk with respect to the median nerve. -answered
