The management of humeral shaft fractures with associated radial nerve palsy: a review of 117 cases
Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, 08/17/09

Bumbaširevic M et al. – Humeral fractures with associated RNP may be treated expectantly. With low rates of humeral nonunion, 95% spontaneous nerve recovery in closed fractures and 94% in grade 1 and 2 open fractures, one has the opportunity of waiting. If at 10–12 weeks there are no clinical/EMG signs of recovery, then nerve exploration/secondary reconstruction is indicated. Late tendon transfers may also give good/excellent functional results.
