TENDON TRANSFERS FOR RADIAL NERVE PALSY

Dr. T. V. Subha, Dr. Venkata Subrahmaniam, Dr. P. S. Sundeep, Dr. R. Manoharan

Abstract


The most common indication for upper extremity tendon transfer
procedure is a peripheral nerve injury that has no potential to
improve.
This includes nerve injuries that are irreparable such as root
avulsions, nerve injuries that do not recover after direct nerve
repair or grafting, or failed nerve transfers or delayed presentation.
In case of radial nerve palsy, the patient cannot extend the wrist,
ngers and thumb, so has a great difculty in grasping objects
