Dr. Ebraheim’s educational animated video describing the condition known as radial nerve palsy.
The radial nerve originates from the posterior cord of the brachial plexus. Radial nerve injury results from acute trauma or compression of the radial nerve.
Condition is often referred to as
•Saturday night palsy: alcohol is sometimes a factor as person falls asleep with the back of their arm compressed by a chair back, bar edge, etc.
•Honeymoon palsy: from another individual sleeping on one’s arm overnight, compressing the nerve.
•Crutch palsy: compression on nerve from walking with crutches.
The radial nerve supplies the extensor muscles allowing for extension of the wrist and fingers in addition to supplying the triceps that extends the elbow. If the muscles are not working properly, the patient will experience the condition known as “wrist drop”.
A radial nerve injury classically occurs by fractures involving the distal third of the humeral shaft. The patient will be unable to perform the “hitch hike” sign.
If the nerve is compressed at the axilla, the triceps muscle will be affected. Patient will not be able to extend the elbow in addition to wrist drop.
Treatment of radial nerve palsy
•Brace, cockup splint
•Physical therapy to help maintain the muscle strength and avoid contracture.
•EMG and nerve studies:
Brachioradialis is the first muscle to recover.
Can be done as early as three weeks and follow the progress.
•Nerve exploration, repair or graft: nerve exploration:
Nerve exploration is indicated in open humeral fracture with radial nerve palsy or in conditions that have had sufficient time without nerve recovery.
•Tendon transfer if nerve cannot be repaired or the function cannot be restored.

Thank you so much for these videos. Your videos are very helpful as an OT student. I appreciate that you include physical therapy in your recommendations for treatments of a variety of conditions; however, it would be amazing if you could also mention the importance of occupational therapy in treating these conditions, especially upper extremity conditions. I think OT is often overlooked and it is a vital part of a patient's recovery. Thanks again for everything!

After four monts I lost the wrist drop. I can move my wrist up now. I imagine I will have a full recovery within the next two months.

Congrats hope I recover soon, what were the signs of recovery or just randomly came back?

@jasonaquino8232 3 жыл бұрын

@Sailor Moon No it will not be sudden. Signs of recovery will depend on your habits. I use a computer all the time, so typing and using a mouse has become easier. From a mental perspective, you need to accept the fact this is going to take a long time to heal. Nerves are a bitch if they get bruised. Or if you have a bone fracture in your radial nerve area that is suppressing the nerve, meaning the nerve is bruised. Another sign, which will sound weird, but if you scratch the side of your head with the hurt hand, it should feel really weak, and difficult. Signs of improvement will show that you can do this more normally and with more strength. Cutting fruit is also a sign of improvement if you feel you have more power to cut said fruit, like a lemon or orange. Either Way, assuming the nerve was not severed by a bad cut, or some other trauma you WILL HEAL. Like I said I can finally move my wrist up, and that is the sign to full recovery. I don't have wrist drop, but I am not fully recovered. My hand is still fairly weak. Meaning I could not lift a weight without a wrist splint yet. The bad news, this could take up to six months to heal, the good news you will heal. I like this channel, so I can tell people they are not screwed. When I first went through this, it was scary, so I want to tell people not to freak out. Others on this channel have reported full recovery as well. Hang in there, wear your wrist splint all the time. And try to use your hurt hand as much as possible for normal activities. and I do not advice seeing a doctor anytime soon. I did, because I was scared and they did nothing for me, they did not even know what they were looking at. Then I got slapped with a $3,500 hundred dollar bill for nothing. This heals on it's own. Just get a couple of good wrist splints. And use your hurt hand as much as possible, to a comfortable degree. Last thing I will say, if you have numbness on your thumb, upper hand or anywhere due to the injury, do not worry it goes away. That scared me alot.

Mine develpoed as a post operative condition following carpal tunnel repair on the radial nerve using a radial axillsry block as anesthia. I woke up in severe pain in the recovery room. My surgeon had already gone and left me in his partners care. I was in so much pain they could not release me from the hospital and it was supposed to be an outpatient procedure. No one seemed to know what was wrong. When my durgeon returned to work he knew immediately what was wrong. The pressure of the wrist drop was pulling on the axillary section of the radial nerve causing severe pain. He orderedca brace to be put under the cast my wrist was in and the pain stopped almost instantly. It took almost a year of intensive therapy to regain 90% use of my hand . There are still certain movements I can't make, like the boy scout salute or counting to 3. This can be a debilitating nerve injury and should be monitored if it doesnt heal after a few days.

Three weeks ago, I had a horrible snowboarding accident that lead to a broken humerus. After a 3.5 hour surgery, I was unable to feel or move my wrist and fingers. The doctor diagnosed it as radial nerve palsy. I’ve been going to physical therapy and doing exercises every day. The feeling and movement in the wrist are slowly coming back, but the fingers… not so much. i can’t make a thumbs up, or extend my fingers at all. It’s been hard, and there’s been some depressing moments. Reading the comments in this section makes me realize that I’m not alone. Just gotta keep working hard and being patient.

Hey Luke, I'm in a similar boat. I fell asleep on a computer chair with the arm rest jammed into my arm pit. I woke up with my right arm feeling numb. I was unable to move my wrist upwards or extend my fingers. Yeah it's been insanely depressing man. It's been a month and I can now extend my fingers. My wrist still has the characteristic "wrist drop". I've been doing physical therapy twice a week. The neurologist is like 3 months out. I have been trying to find an answer online to no avail. How is your hand now? It's been like 7 months since you posted

It is controversial subject on whether or not the nerve will recover on its own. After three weeks you should have an EMG (nerve conduction study). If the nerve is not cut, there is a good chance of recovery.

In high lesions, such as in fractures of the humerus (particularly mid-shaft fractures where the radial nerve lies in the spiral grove), or due to prolonged tourniquet pressure, there is weakness of the radial extensors of the wrist numbness over the anatomical snuff box. They are also seen in patients who fall asleep with the arm dangling over the back of a chair ('Saturday night palsy').

hi , I wanted to share my bitter experience. I had suffered from radial nerve palsy after I fell down from my motor bike and broke my right hand humerus. It was in Last august 2014. It was so painful both physically and mentally as doctors have not given any time frame of recovery. I was worried, and thinking what if I can not recover. This video here gave my insight about my injury and the comments the hope to fght back. I had gone through physio therapy for 3 months and finally recovered from it and able to work normally. I even started driving my bike in due course. I really feel grateful for my physio for his help and positive talk. I had to use dynamic cockup splint though it looked very awkward when I was using for typing on keyboard and doing exercise . Advise all the fellow injured to keep your spirits up and believe that you can recover fully from this.

Hi. It´s been 8½ months since I fell and "did something" to the radialnerve. Just shortly before going into surgery for pancreas cancer. I told the hospital about my issue, but nothing was done at first. It took them about 7 or 8 days to finally take an x-ray and have a doctor helping me. I know from reading on the internet that it´s important to take action as soon as possible or else you will risk malfunction. Well, this happened to my right arm/hand/fingers. I was going through hell healing from the whipple surgery and a right hand not functioning at all! The muscles in my arm disapeared completely and I´m now trying to build up muscles again. The process is real slow and I wonder if I`ll ever succeed. I have partial function of my fingers and can now use a pair of scissors ubt with lots of difficulties. Everything I do is with difficulties….
