Abstract
Two cases of delayed median nerve division after laceration of the wrist by glass are described. In both there was no neurological damage at the time of the original injury. However, retained fragments of glass were subsequently responsible for division of the median nerve in both cases and of the surrounding tendons in one. Radiographs were an important diagnostic aid in treating the delayed injury.Keywords
