Broke His Humerus Bone And Radial Nerve Due To An Accident. How Long It Will Takes For The Nerve To Heal ?
My fiancee had an accident..He broke his humerus bone and his radial nerve has suffered grade 2 injury due to which he has a wrist drop i.e no upward movement in his wrist and fingers..The nerve got an injury because it was crushed between the 2 pieces of his broken bone.However the nerve is intact from outside.Can you tell me approximately how much time it takes for the nerve to heal..

hello,
nerve healing depends on the activity of muscle...
normally it will take more than month..
i will advise u to go for proper rehabilitation..
1. muscle stimulation,
2. muscle re-education training.
3. use of splint (cock-up splint) to prevent the deformity(wrist drop)
