TENDON TRANSFERS FOR RADIAL NERVE PALSY

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery, 1980
Outlined below are the tendon transfer procedures I have used in the treatment of 69 radial nerve palsy cases encountered during the past 25 years. The factors considered in determining which surgical procedure is to be performed are as follows: (i) neurorrhaphy is impossible; or (ii) neurorrhaphy would be possible, but useful recovery cannot be ...

Radial Nerve Palsy: A Complication of Walker Usage

Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 1989
A patient with diabetic peripheral neuropathy experienced the acute onset of a proximal radial nerve palsy after prolonged use of a walker. Nerve conduction and electromyographic studies confirmed an isolated, severe neurapraxic lesion distal to branches innervating the triceps and anconeus muscles.

Splinting for radial nerve palsy

Journal of Hand Therapy, 1987
Abstract The radial nerve is the most frequently injured major nerve of the upper extremity. Splinting to maintain joint motion and functional use of the hand is usually required until nerve recovery occurs or tendon transfer procedures are performed. A review of the literature reveals numerous splint designs for radial palsy.

Intrauterine Stab Leading to a Radial Nerve Palsy

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 2001
Penetrating injuries to the gravid uterus are rare. This report documents a fetus that sustained a complete radial nerve palsy (a hemopneumothorax) after a knife wound (complete nerve transection is suspected). Surgical exploration of the nerve was delayed because of respiratory distress. Six weeks later, when exploration was scheduled to be undertaken,

Radial Nerve Palsy in Guillain-Barré Syndrome

Journal of Clinical Neuromuscular Disease, 2009
Abstract The risk of focal compression neuropathy in the setting of an underlying inflammatory polyneuropathy is unknown. A man developed ascending weakness and severe sensory ataxia and could not walk. Electromyography was diagnostic of Guillain-Barré syndrome.

Radial Nerve Palsy in the Newborn

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 2008
Radial nerve palsy in the neonate is a rare clinical entity but must be distinguished from the more common brachial plexus birth palsy which occurs during the perinatal period. Although longer term upper-limb function following brachial plexus birth palsy is highly variable depending on the extent of neurological involvement, sparse reports of neonates

Tenodesis Extension Splinting for Radial Nerve Palsy

Techniques in Hand & Upper Extremity Surgery, 2006
Injuries to the radial nerve or posterior interosseous nerve can lead to significant functional limitation. Inability to extend the wrist and/or digits prevents the hand from being positioned properly for functional tasks. Therapy after radial nerve injury is geared toward maintaining passive extension of the wrist and digits.

Tendon Transfers for Radial and Median Nerve Palsies

Journal of Hand Therapy, 2005
Paralysis or irreparable injury to the radial or median nerve results in considerable impairment of hand function that directly affects activities of daily living. Radial nerve loss prevents wrist and digit extension, which hinders object acquisition and release.

The First Reported Case of Radial Nerve Palsy

Southern Medical Journal, 1993
Radial nerve injury produced by anterior dislocation of the shoulder is uncommon. Here I present a probable case from 3,000 years ago, described in the Bible. My report is based on the "medical history" only. Differential diagnosis, laboratory findings, and treatment are discussed.

Comparison of nerve versus tendon transfer for radial nerve palsy

Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery
This study aims to investigate the choice of intervention time and operation mode between nerve and tendon transfer for the treatment of radial nerve palsy (RNP).46 RNP patients underwent nerve transfer (n = 22) and tendon transfer (n = 24). The intraoperative blood loss, main incision length, operation duration, and length of hospital stay and follow ...
