Saturday Morning Palsy: Closed Traumatic Peripheral Neuropathy
Journal Title: Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal - Year 2007, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Traumatic peripheral neuropathy can occur following fracture, dislocation, forceful reduction or direct compression. During the emergency medical relief mission for earthquake victims in Pakistan, between 30th Oct and 14th Nov 2005, four patients presented with wrist drop and two others with foot drop, all with no underlying fracture or dislocation. All of them were attended by medical teams two to three days for the first time due to difficult rescue work and hard terrain. They were seen in field hospital on their follow up at four to five weeks.
