Background: Radial nerve injuries cause profound disability, and a variety of reconstruction options exist. This study aimed to compare outcomes of tendon transfers versus nerve transfers for the management of isolated radial nerve injuries. Methods: A retrospective chart review of 30 patients with isolated radial nerve injuries treated with tendon transfers and 16 patients managed with nerve transfers was performed. Fifteen of the 16 patients treated with nerve transfer had concomitant pronator teres to extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon transfer for wrist extension. Preoperative and postoperative strength data, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) scores, and quality-of-life (QOL) scores were compared before and after surgery and compared between groups. Results: For the nerve transfer group, patients were significantly younger, time from injury to surgery was significantly shorter, and follow-up time was significantly longer. Both groups demonstrated significant improvements in grip and pinch strength after surgery. Postoperative grip strength was significantly higher in the nerve transfer group. Postoperative pinch strength did not differ between groups. Similarly, both groups showed an improvement in DASH and QOL scores after surgery with no significant differences between the 2 groups. Conclusions: The nerve transfer group demonstrated greater grip strength, but both groups had improved pain, function, and satisfaction postoperatively. Patients who present early and can tolerate longer time to functional recovery would be optimal candidates for nerve transfers. Both tendon transfers and nerve transfers are good options for patients with radial nerve palsy.

We report a series of 12 patients (19 hands) with clasped thumb who underwent surgical treatment. The series is divided into three groups. In the first group, the prominent pathological feature was hypoplasia of the extensor tendons which was treated by tendon transfer. The second group, the arthrogryphotic type, had contracture of the intrinsic muscles of the thumb and shortening of the skin; these needed mainly release operations. In only three hands out of nine was tendon transfer performed. The third group was defined by a combination of skeletal, muscular and tendon hypoplasia. Instability of the M.P. joint and adduction contracture of the first ray were found in all hands of this group. The adduction deformity was corrected by skin-plasty of the first web and the extension was improved by tendon transfers. Only one case needed stabilisation of the M.P. joint. The final results were related to the extent of the contractures and to the age of the patient when treatment started.
