An Insight about Tendon Transfer in Management of Radial Nerve Palsy

Abstract

Treatment for radial nerve palsy includes a palliative tendon transfer. Direct suture or nerve grafting as a means of nerve healing are not practical or reasonable, and it can be considered only in the early stages. Functional restoration being nerve deficient alone is a strong indicator that a nerve transplant would be successful. Region is the goal rather than morphological reconstitution of the destroyed nerve (s). The aim of the current review is to summarize the principals of tendon transfer and neurotisation in radial nerve palsy.
