HEMI- transferencia de nervio mediano a nervio interóseo posterior (supercharge) en parálisis de nervio radial por secuela de fractura de húmero

Abstract

Background: The radial nerve is a peripheral nerve located from C5, C6, C7, C8, and T1, which is divided into a superficial branch passing through the radial artery and a deep branch with the posterior interosseous artery. Most of the lesions are due to primary trauma causes such as transient contusion, neuropraxia, incarceration between the humerus diaphysis fracture fragments, partial or complete laceration, and secondary causes of its treatment.

General Objective: To report a clinical case of hemi-transfer of the median nerve to the posterior interosseous nerve (supercharge) in high radial nerve palsy due to sequelae of humerus fracture.

Methodology: For this descriptive, observational study, an updated review of journal articles and web pages with scientific evidence, such as PubMed, Elsevier, and Google Scholar, and clinical cases on the subject were conducted. Additionally, a clinical case report on radial nerve injury and the treatment was presented.

Conclusions: In this clinical case, the patient's progress was observed in two stages, demonstrating the effectiveness of the hemi-nerve transfer technique. The Hemi-transfer of nerves offers advantages over tendon transfer regarding finger mobility during the patient's recovery.
