Mechanisms of Injury
Radial nerve palsy can result from compression, trauma, or ischemic damage, commonly seen in fractures, prolonged pressure, or surgical complications.
Recovery Approaches
Treatment varies based on the severity and cause, ranging from conservative management with splinting and physiotherapy to surgical interventions.
