The use of neurolysis, endoneural stimulation and anti-adhesion membrane in the surgical treatment of intra-trunk injuries of the radial nerve

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: a comparative analysis of the results of standard neurolysis and neurolysis in combination with the use of an anti-adhesion membrane and endoneural stimulation of the nerve in the treatment of patients with closed intra-trunk traumatic radial nerve palsy.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: 29 patients were observed with traumatic radial nerve palsy at the middle third level of the shoulder, of which 12 patients (group 1) underwent neurolysis, and 17 patients (group 2) underwent neurolysis with the additional use of an anti-adhesions membrane and epineural intra-and postoperative stimulation of the radial nerve. All patients before the operation, 1, 3 and 6 months after the operation, underwent a clinical and neurological examination, evaluation of daily activity limitations using the method “Measuring functional activity limitations due to hand injury and treatment results” (“DASH”), electroneuromyography.

Conclusions: neurolysis in combination with the use of an anti-adhesion membrane and electrostimulation during traumatic intra-trunk injuries of the radial nerve in the middle third of the shoulder contributes to a better recovery of muscle strength and arm function than one neurolysis.
