The radial nerve conveys sensory and motor information to and from the upper limb, and radial nerve injury can induce functional disability, as demonstrated by the case of the renowned French writer Louis-Ferdinand Céline (1894-1961), who sustained a gunshot injury to his right arm in October 1914. Radial nerve injuries treated during World War I inspired the publication of several medical handbooks and medical theses, such as that of the military surgeon Major Robert Bretton (1889-1956). The aim of this paper is, via Céline's injury, to explore the management of radial nerve injury during and since World War I. It is important to consider the historical perspective in order to improve radial nerve injury management so as to adapt to modern warfare.
桡神经将感觉和运动信息传递至上肢，桡神经损伤可导致功能障碍，这在著名的法国作家路易-费迪南·塞利纳（Louis-Ferdinand Céline，1894-1961 年）的案例中得到了证明，他于 1914 年 10 月右臂中弹受伤。一战期间治疗的桡神经损伤激发了几本医学手册和医学论文的出版，如军医少校罗伯特·布雷顿（Robert Bretton，1889-1956 年）的论文。本文通过塞利纳的受伤案例，探讨一战期间和之后桡神经损伤的处理方法。考虑历史背景对于改善桡神经损伤处理，以适应现代战争非常重要。
