Radial Nerve Palsy Following Humeral Fractures
BY ASHRAF MOHARRAM AND SIMON LAMBERT
About this Blog
Alongside a humerus fracture, a radial nerve palsy requires a number of decisions. What are my imaging and diagnostic options? Is surgery indicated? If so, which approaches and fixation techniques offer the best chances of recovery?
As Heckler and Bamberger (2008) observed, the available literature can support almost any approach to treating this combination of injuries. This blog and the linked webinar will help you sift through the available information and make decisions that lead to consistently high-quality outcomes for your patients.
