When faced with a patient with a radial nerve palsy, we need to make a plan of management.
Should we operate and explore the nerve or not?
If we are not going to operate, what splint should we advice?
If we are going to operate, what procedure should we do, a nerve repair or graft, or nerve transfer?
Should we do a tendon transfer also?
What is Internal splinting, and in which patients should we do it?
What are the types of tendon transfers, and which tendon transfer is useful for which type of involvement in radial nerve palsy?
And when should we carry out our plan of surgery... immediately or later? If later, when?
