Radial nerve palsy is a debilitating nerve injury that results in lost of wrist and finger extension, which classically presents as wrist drop. The two reconstructive options for managing this injury are tendon transfers and nerve transfers, each with their advantages and disadvantages. Nerve transfers are able to provide independent finger extension, however there is […]

This presentation is a description on the median to radial nerve transfers for management of radial nerve palsies. It was presented at the 2014 ASSH Post-Course on distal nerve transfers for brachial plexus injuries. […]
The median to radial nerve transfer is an available option for restoring radial nerve hand function following nerve injury. This nerve transfer specifically involves the transferring of two sets of nerves. That is, the flexor carpi radialis (FCR) to posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) and the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) to extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) […]
