it could affect:-
1) Brachial artery:- ischaemia to forearm and hand with numbness, tingling, chances of dry gangrene(in long term)
2)Median nerve:- ape thumb deformity and all thumb muscles except Adductor policis, cant flex the lateral 3 fingers, loss of sensation in the 3 and half fingers
3)Cubitus varus (elbow rotated medially)- hand brushes toward side while walking
4) Volkman contractures are possible
