title: [Lesions of the peripheral nerves after surgical treatment of fractures of the distal humerus].
abstract: In the work we have examined 44 patients (16 women and 28 men), which the break of distal humerus is saned with operation, using adequate OSM. The average years of women patients was 29 (from 3 to 79), and of male patients 24 (from 1 to 75). After thr operative sanitary breaks distal part of humerus, using adequate OSM (fillo Kurschneri, platho metalico, clavo spiralis), it can come on lesion of perifer nerves of the arm, and mostly of n. radialis. Lesions of n. radialis we have notice on 5 patients. The rehabilitation our patients was made with prevention contraction of shoulder, elbow, hand and fingers using kinesitherapy, hydrotherapy and electrotherapy paralysis musculature with intentional exercises to the reinervation of perifer motor neuron and raising the force of musculus.
