Isolated Radial Nerve Palsy After Glenohumeral Dislocation in a Collegiate Athlete: A Review of the Literature
2021
Isolated mononeuropathies are uncommon complications after shoulder dislocations. Of these, injuries to the radial nerve are the rarest. Here, we present a case of an isolated radial nerve palsy after a collegiate athlete was hit during a football game and sustained a glenohumeral dislocation. After reduction of the shoulder, he went on to full recovery of motor and sensory function of the radial nerve 1 year after the injury. This case report is further unique given the long-term follow-up in a young, active patient. We review the sparse literature behind the epidemiology and management of these complications.
