Overview

Retrospective analysis finds incidence of radial nerve injury linked to high-energy trauma in rural settings.

Key Points

  • This study aimed to determine the incidence of radial nerve injury associated with humeral diaphyseal fractures and identify its correlates.
  • Retrospective analysis of data collected from January 2008 to December 2018.
  • Patients were classified under humeral diaphyseal fracture (S42.3) according to ICD-10.
  • Chi-square test was applied to analyze correlates with a significance level of P < 0.05.
  • Radial nerve injury occurred in 15 out of 189 cases (7.94%).
  • The most common contributing factor to injury was road traffic accidents.
  • Transverse fractures were identified as the most frequent fracture pattern.
