Significant Weakness

The chapter presents a case of radial neuropathy—specifically, a patient who presented with weakness in his left hand after a fall 2 months earlier. The patient had significant weakness in the fingers of the left hand on physical examination. The assessment process is outlined, along with differential diagnosis of radial nerve entrapment at the spiral groove and posterior interosseous neuropathy. Diagnostic pearls, physical examination findings, and indications for surgical intervention are discussed. A detailed description of the surgical exploration is supplied, along with illustrations of both the surgical incision and intraoperative landmarks.

Level I

We report a single surgeon series of 244 patients with radial nerve injuries who had nerve repair, neurolysis, or nerve graft over a 17-year period. 44 patients had a Level I or infraclavicular injury, 37 had a Level II injury within the spiral groove of the humerus, 104 had a Level III injury from the lateral arm to antebrachial fossa and 64 had a Level IV injury affecting the posterior interosseous nerve. Nerve grafting was used most frequently in all groups, and was the only method of reconstruction for level II injury. At 21.5 months follow up, Level IV injuries had significantly better outcome of finger and thumb extension, while wrist extension recovered in at least 80% of the patients irrespective of the level of injury. The radial nerve recovered better if repaired or reconstructed within 5 months of injury.

Background: Radial nerve injuries cause profound disability, and a variety of reconstruction options exist. This study aimed to compare outcomes of tendon transfers versus nerve transfers for the management of isolated radial nerve injuries. Methods: A retrospective chart review of 30 patients with isolated radial nerve injuries treated with tendon transfers and 16 patients managed with nerve transfers was performed. Fifteen of the 16 patients treated with nerve transfer had concomitant pronator teres to extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon transfer for wrist extension. Preoperative and postoperative strength data, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) scores, and quality-of-life (QOL) scores were compared before and after surgery and compared between groups. Results: For the nerve transfer group, patients were significantly younger, time from injury to surgery was significantly shorter, and follow-up time was significantly longer. Both groups demonstrated significant improvements in grip and pinch strength after surgery. Postoperative grip strength was significantly higher in the nerve transfer group. Postoperative pinch strength did not differ between groups. Similarly, both groups showed an improvement in DASH and QOL scores after surgery with no significant differences between the 2 groups. Conclusions: The nerve transfer group demonstrated greater grip strength, but both groups had improved pain, function, and satisfaction postoperatively. Patients who present early and can tolerate longer time to functional recovery would be optimal candidates for nerve transfers. Both tendon transfers and nerve transfers are good options for patients with radial nerve palsy.
