Implication

Retrospective review identified trauma as the main cause of radial nerve injury, indicating critical diagnostics through electrophysiological analysis.

Key Points

  • Trauma-related radial nerve injury is the leading cause of isolated distal extensor weakness.
  • Among 57 patients, 56 were found to have confirmed radial nerve injury through electrophysiological evaluations.
  • The study utilized motor and sensory conduction studies and needle EMG to assess radial nerve lesions effectively.
  • Accurate localization and management of radial nerve injuries are essential, especially as 49% showed partial axonal damage.
