Advanced Peripheral Nerve Care by Dr. Laxmikant Anantrao Bhople
Radial Nerve Palsy
Radial nerve palsy is a neurological condition caused by injury or compression of the radial nerve, which controls movement and sensation in the arm, wrist, and hand. As a result, patients commonly experience wrist drop, weakness in hand extension, and numbness along the back of the arm or hand.
In many cases, radial nerve palsy occurs due to trauma, fractures, prolonged pressure, or surgical injury. Therefore, early diagnosis and expert nerve evaluation are essential to restore function and prevent permanent disability.
Keeping this in focus, Dr. Laxmikant Anantrao Bhople offers advanced radial nerve palsy treatment in Nanded with a focus on nerve preservation, recovery of movement, and long-term functional improvement.
Causes of Radial Nerve Palsy
Radial nerve dysfunction may occur due to multiple underlying factors. Because of this, identifying the exact cause is crucial for effective treatment. Common causes include:
- Humerus (upper arm) fractures
- Prolonged pressure on the arm during sleep or anesthesia
- Road traffic accidents or fall injuries
- Surgical or injection-related nerve injury
- Tumors or swelling compressing the nerve
- Industrial or occupational trauma
After identifying the cause, a targeted treatment plan is developed to promote nerve recovery.
Symptoms of Radial Nerve Injury
Symptoms may vary depending on the severity and location of nerve damage. However, early signs should never be ignored. Common symptoms include:
- Wrist drop (inability to extend the wrist)
- Weak grip strength
- Difficulty straightening fingers or thumb
- Numbness or tingling on the back of the hand
- Loss of coordination in hand movements
If these symptoms are noticed, early neurosurgical consultation significantly improves recovery outcomes.
Advanced Radial Nerve Palsy Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the extent of nerve injury. Accordingly, Dr. Bhople offers both conservative and surgical management based on individual evaluation.
Conservative Management
In mild nerve compression or stretching injuries, non-surgical care may be sufficient. As a result, nerve healing can occur naturally with:
- Splinting and wrist support
- Physiotherapy and nerve stimulation
- Medications to reduce inflammation
- Regular nerve function monitoring
Microsurgical Nerve Repair
When the nerve is severely damaged or cut, surgical repair may be required. Therefore, microsurgical nerve suturing or grafting is performed to restore nerve continuity.
Nerve Decompression Surgery
If the radial nerve is compressed by scar tissue or bone fragments, decompression surgery is advised. This procedure relieves pressure and promotes nerve regeneration.
Tendon Transfer Surgery (Selected Cases)
In chronic or non-recovering palsy, tendon transfer procedures may be considered. Consequently, hand and wrist function can be restored even in long-standing cases.

Benefits of Early Radial Nerve Palsy Treatment
- Improved chances of nerve regeneration
- Restoration of wrist and hand movement
- Prevention of permanent disability
- Faster return to daily activities
- Personalized rehabilitation guidance
Because nerve recovery is time-dependent, early expert treatment plays a vital role.
Recovery & Rehabilitation
Recovery after radial nerve injury requires structured follow-up. Initially, nerve function is monitored regularly. Subsequently, physiotherapy and occupational therapy are intensified to regain strength and coordination.
Through continuous rehabilitation and guidance, most patients achieve meaningful functional improvement.
