Key Points

To evaluate the incidence, presentation, and clinical outcomes of iatrogenic radial nerve palsy occurring as a complication of humeral shaft nonunion surgery.
Level IV therapeutic clinical investigation evaluating patients managed surgically for humeral shaft nonunion.
Documented intraoperative nerve handling, postoperative radial nerve status, and clinical management pathways.
Characterizes the presentation patterns and functional recovery timelines of post-surgical radial nerve palsy in revision humeral nonunion cases.
Identifies surgical exposure, scar tissue encasement, and hardware manipulation as primary operative factors contributing to nerve compromise.

Level IV case series reports iatrogenic radial nerve palsy after humeral shaft nonunion repair, highlighting surgical risks and functional recovery.
