Radial And Ulner Nerve Injury As a Child Posted: 11-25-04 21:35pm
Can anyone assist?
When I was a child, I lacerated my upper
arm on a pane of glass. I believe that I
cut the radial and ulner nerves, about 4"
above the elbow underneath the arm.
This severely damaged and limited the
motor function to my hand and wrist and
caused loss of sensation to the whole
length of one side of my arm (including
half palm and two smallest fingers).
The nerves did not improve and I have been
unable to fully extend any fingers
(smallest are worst) and the wrist is
quite weak.
When wrist is extended, all fingers remain
clenched.
The situation remains the same today.
I was wondering if there is anything that
might be able to be done, today, to
improve it, given that the injury occured
over 30 years ago, when nothing could
really be done.
Any assistance would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks very much.
