Radial Nerve Palsy in Fracture Shaft of Humerus
A radial nerve injury associated with a humeral shaft fracture is an important injury pattern among trauma patients.This study is to find out the incidence of radial nerve palsy and to analyze results of treatment of fracture shaft of Humerus associated with radial nerve injury to improve outcome and avoid long-term morbidity.A total of eighty patients of fractures were analyzed with twenty imm...
متن کاملIpsilateral Distal Humerus Intercondylar Fracture with Radial Nerve Palsy and Monteggia Fracture Dislocation in Adult
The incidence of Monteggia lesion is only 1 to 2% of all childhood forearm injuries and even less in adults [2]. Distal humerus intraarticular fractures constitute 0.5%-7% of all fractures and 30% of elbow fractures [3]. Monteggia lesion have been found to be associated with wrist lesions [1,4,5]. Wiley and Galey [1] & Arazi et al. [6] reported one case each of the ipsilateral supracondylar fra...
متن کاملPrimary Exploration of Radial Nerve is Not Required for Radial Nerve Palsy while Treating Humerus Shaft Fractures with Unreamed Humerus Nails (UHN)
BACKGROUND Today, humerus nails have become the surgical method of choice in the treatment of humerus shaft fractures. Whether or not the radial nerve should be intraoperatively examined by default in case of primary paresis is currently under discussion. PATIENTS AND METHODS Clinical findings from 38 patients with humeral shaft fractures surgically treated with unreamed humerus nail (UHN) at...
متن کاملThrower's fracture of the humerus with radial nerve palsy: an unfamiliar softball injury.
A fracture of the normal humerus in a healthy young adult most commonly results from significant direct trauma. Throwing sports have become increasingly popular outside of North America and bring with them a novel injury mechanism for clinicians. A 21 year old woman sustained a "thrower's fracture" of the distal humerus and radial nerve palsy while throwing a softball. She was treated by intern...
متن کاملSonographic detection of radial nerve entrapment within a humerus fracture.
Radial neuropathy is frequently associated with fracture of the middle third of the humerus owing to the course of the nerve adjacent to the humeral shaft. The prevalence varies from 2 to 18% of humeral fractures. The therapeutic management is still controversial. Some authors recommend initial surgical exploration, whereas others prefer observation and intervention only if the injured nerve fa...
