Introduction Injuries to the radial nerve can occur at any point along its anatomical route, and the aetiology is quite varied. As a result of its proximity to the humeral shaft, as well as its long and tortuous course, the radial nerve is the

a fracture of the radial head (RH), disruption of distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) and rupture of the interosseous membrane (IOM). 1 This can be a disabling injury with devastating complications, if either missed or poorly treated. Unfortunately

-ligament-injured knees in order to define the injury and identify any associated osteochondral and meniscal injuries. In the setting of a peroneal nerve palsy, peripheral nerve conduction studies (NCS) and electromyography (EMG) are also useful. 7 Ligament

fracture of the radius with dislocation of the radial head in any direction, with or without dislocation of the PRUJ. The biomechanics of this subset is similar to subset I, while the radial fracture could be a secondary injury ( 50 , 52 , 55 ). Another

Introduction Upper limb fractures are common injuries and affect people of all ages. As clinical studies have shown a significant correlation between anatomical reduction and joint function, reconstruction of normal anatomy is one of the key
