Ultrasound evaluation of radial nerve injuries by cortex overlapping screw tips after internal fixation of humeral fractures: a cadaveric study
With this study, we show that ultrasound can reliable visualize the screw tips and its relation to the radial nerve. Ultrasound is a promising diagnostic tool to evaluate patients with radial nerve irritations or lesions after ORIF of humeral fractures. Furthermore, ultrasound could be an adequate tool to guide drilling.
