Treatment of hand and finger deformities for radial nerve injuries

Abstract

According to the authors’ data, radial nerve injuries account for 13-25% of peripheral nerve injuries. All the methods of reconstructive surgeries for hand and finger neurogenic deformities are divided into two groups: dynamic and stabilizing. Dynamic surgeries are intended to restore the active function of fingers, achieved at the expense of tendinomuscular transpositions. The aim of stabilizing surgeries is to produce a functionally favourable position to make grasp function available for fingers.
