Treatment options for radial nerve palsy with associated humeral fracture include expectant observation, early exploration, late exploration, or performing tendon transfers. Whether or not early exploration of a
The humeral shaft lies in close proximity to the radial nerve, which may be injured or, less commonly, lacerated by a fracture. Neurovascular function, especially including wrist, finger, and thumb extension, should be documented before any manipulation of the arm occurs. Treatment depends on the...
19 In prior studies, researchers noted the occurrence of inferior subluxation of the humeral head in 42% of patients 2 weeks after proximal humerus fracture.19 This phenomenon was also observed in 32%-35.5% of patients following osteosynthesis.1,9 In most instances, recovery occurred gradually ...

After thefractureis diagnosed, the patient will likely be placed into a splint or a cast that supports the bone until a final treatment plan is made with an orthopedic surgeon. If thepainis controlled and no serious injuries are present, admission to the hospital is typically not necessary. ...

The good news is that a full recovery from a broken humerus bone is possible, and physical therapy can help patients regain strength and range of motion. In this guide, we’ll discuss humerus fracture causes, symptoms, and treatment. We’ll also explain how physical therapy for a humerus fr...
Factors related to the injury (vascularity, Gartland grade, open vs. closed fracture) and treatment (fixation modality, adequacy, timing of reduction, vascular and nerve intervention, and secondary procedures) were assessed.Primary outcomes were the motor recovery of Medical Research Council (MRC) ...
In this study, 376 nerve palsies recovered without any investigation or intervention over an average time of 19.5 weeks. Comparatively, 37 went back to theatre for exploration beyond the initial treatment due to persistent deficits, at an average time of 4 months. The most common finding at the...
