As a result of its proximity to the humeral shaft, as well as its long and tortuous course, the radial nerve is the most frequently injured major nerve in the upper limb, with its close proximity to the bone making it vulnerable when fractures occur.Injury is most frequently sustained during humeral fracture and gunshot injuries, but iatrogenic injuries are not unusual following surgical treatment of various other pathologies.Treatment is usually non-operative, but surgery is sometimes necessary, using a variety of often imaginative procedures. Because radial nerve injuries are the least debilitating of the upper limb nerve injuries, results are usually satisfactory.Conservative treatment certainly has a role, and one of the most important aspects of this treatment is to maintain a full passive range of motion in all the affected joints.Surgical treatment is indicated in cases when nerve transection is obvious, as in open injuries or when there is no clinical improvement after a period of conservative treatment. Different techniques are used including direct suture or nerve grafting, vascularised nerve grafts, direct nerve transfer, tendon transfer, functional muscle transfer or the promising, newer treatment of biological therapy.Cite this article: Bumbasirevic M, Palibrk T, Lesic A, Atkinson HDE.

Arthroscopy is a valuable tool in the diagnosis and treatment of various elbow and wrist disorders. Because of the close proximity of vital neurovascular structures, arthroscopy of these joints must be undertaken with a thorough understanding of the anatomy and with experience with the surgical procedures. Although there are reports of complications from procedures in both joints, there is a lack of agreement as to the rate and types of complications. We reviewed the literature to help the reader develop a comprehensive understanding of the risks and plentiful complications associated with arthroscopic procedures of the elbow and wrist and to describe strategies to prevent adverse outcomes.

“…41 There has been a case report on a complete division of the PIN following elbow arthroscopy. 16 This injury resulted in a neuroma, which was treated with resection followed by sural nerve graft placement. The patient's function improved from an inability to extend the thumb and fingers to full function of all involved muscles.…”
