most frequently injured major nerve in the upper limb. Its close bony proximity makes it vulnerable to fractures of the humeral shaft and around the elbow. Injuries can be divided into high, complete radial nerve injuries and low, posterior interosseous

increases the risk of radial nerve injury and stiffness. The bilaterotricipital posterior approach (Alonso-Llames approach) was initially described at our institution to treat supracondylar fractures. 48 However, currently it is not widely used because

specific problem is nerve injuries in combination with closed, but comminuted and dislocated, fractures. 26 In most of the cases with a mid-shaft humerus fracture and a concomitant radial nerve injury, complete functional recovery of the nerve is seen

could lead to the thermal injury of the radial nerve due to the cement polymerization. Levy et al described a case of radial nerve injury after RSA revision. 88 Most commonly, cement extravasation occurs due to cortical perforation or fracture. Its
