The rates of rare complications of acute or late ulnar nerve entrapment after supracondylar fractures, medial condyl fractures, elbow dislocations, forearm fractures, Galeazzi fracture dislocations, and epiphyseal separation of the distal ulna were reported earlier in the literature. Here, we report a late ulnar nerve entrapment after displaced olecranon fracture in a 10-year-old boy.
