“…While there are several methods of operative intervention for humerus shaft fractures, the internal fixation methods can be broadly grouped as plating or intramedullary techniques. Interlocking nailing is preferable in communited, segmental and pathological fractures while plating may be the preferred option where radial nerve exploration is contemplated [5,13,14]. Conventional plating techniques involve an extensive surgical approach for open reduction of fracture.…”

“…Para Shao et al (34) , essas lesões ocorrem em 11,8% dos casos e regridem espontaneamente em 70,7% das ocorrências, a partir da sétima semana, tempo idêntico ao encontrado por Ring et al (35) . Pollock et al (36) encontram apenas 6% de lesão do nervo radial associada às FDU, com 92% de regressão espontânea dos sintomas, e recomendam aguardar de três meses e meio a quatro meses antes de uma exploração cirúrgica.…”

“…They noted nerve lacerations in 20%-42% of cases after late exploration, and they also noted poor results clinically after late repair. [6] Series with late exploration have revealed nerve laceration or entrapment to be present in 6%-25% of cases. [6,8,23,24] Subsequently, advocates for early exploration of an RNP with a simple closed humeral shaft fracture would argue that after consideration of the plethora of available series, including a number of series that have documented the risk of a nerve laceration or incarceration with a closed humeral shaft fracture to be as high as 25%, that expectant or delayed nerve exploration can compromise ultimate recovery.…”

Prolonged observation of cases with a lacerated or incarcerated radial nerve will result in no nerve recovery, potential atrophy and motor endplate loss, compromised nerve recovery on late exploration and repair, and significant interval loss of patient function and livelihood.…”
