Radial nerve injuries

Karin L Ljungquist et al. J Hand Surg Am. 2015 Jan.

Abstract

Radial nerve injuries continue to challenge hand surgeons. The course of the nerve and its intimate relationship to the humerus place it at high risk for injury with humerus fractures. We present a review of radial nerve injuries with emphasis on their etiology, workup, diagnosis, management, and outcomes.

Keywords: Radial nerve; humeral shaft fractures; nerve injury; nerve repair.
