ABSTRACT
The association of radial nerve palsy and humeral shaft fracture is well known. Primary exploration and fracture fixation is recommended for open fractures and vascular injury while expectant management remains the standard of care for closed injuries. In the absence of nerve recovery, exploration and reconstruction is recommended 3 to 5 months following injury. When direct repair or nerve grafting is unlikely to achieve a suitable outcome, nerve and tendon transfers are potential options for the restoration of wrist and finger extension.
