title: [Direct surgery of traumatic injuries of the radial nerve (author's transl)].
abstract: 33 cases of traumatic lesions of the radial nerve are reported. Etiological features, prognosis, surgical treatment including micro-surgical techniques, leading to a larger indication of direct nerve repair are discussed. Recent nerve wounds must be repaired early. Surgical exploration will be carried out on unopened lesions when no recovery occurs within two months. According to the lesion, peri-fascicular neurolysis or fascicular resection-graft will be achieved. Tendon transfer techniques will be proposed only after one or two years without recovering, according to the level of the injury.
