[Surgical treatment of radial nerve injuries].

The results are presented of treatment of 16 patients with radial nerve injuries. In only 3 cases the injury was an isolated lesion while in 13 cases it was secondary to humeral fractures or surgical interventions. In 7 cases autotransplantation was done, and in the remaining cases the interventions were limited to external and internal neurolysis because of the nerve trunk showed continuity without losing normal thickness. The therapeutic results were regarded as good.
