Hello sir, i recently got my plate removed from the humerus bone and after that plate removal i have radial nerve palsy. Doctor says it happened because nerve gets stretched while removing the plate from the bone. I have all the senses in the complete arm but can’t extend wrist and fingers. Just want to know if there is anything to worry about as it’s been 2 months since the surgery and there is not any major improvement.

do you get better now

[@thakurlakshay99]

@@rahmhalatwi8297 yes, its completely normal now fortunately. It takes time but eventuaally gets better

Why nerve conduction studies may not become abnormal for 3-6 weeks?? Please explain sir 🙏🏽

[@GKHandSurgery]

Immediately after injury, there will be edema and inflammation will be prominent. The edema fluid may interfere with the transmission of electrical signals, and hence the results obtained may not be accurate. Hence, a period of 3 weeks will be necessary for the inflammation to subside, and provide more accurate results.

@@GKHandSurgery thank you for your reply. I saw a patient who had wrist drop, radial nerve proper palsy for 7 days. However nerve conduction studies are normal.

@@dinuj45 Yes, exactly.
