A member asked:
How much is d success rate of nerve graft surgery in case of radial nerve palsy in left arm.what is d time taken to recover after d above surgery.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Radial nerve graft: The question is complicated in that it depends on the length of time that the nerve has been injured and how much of the nerve has been injured. The success rate for the radial nerve is greater than that for the ulnar nerve. It takes 3 - 6 months and maybe longer to know the degree of recovery. Good motor function has occurred in up to 70%.
