  • Muscle strength restoration after the repair of the radial nerve by grafting
    Bošnjak, Roman ; Dolenc, Vinko V.
    Isometrical contraction force of wrist extension was measured in 11 male patients who had undergone graft repair of the radial nerve. Two to 4 sural nerve grafts had been sutured to the transposed ... stumps 9-18 years before this study. The maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) and tetanic contraction (TC) forces were measured and compared in the injured and noninjured extremities. The MVC force had recovered by up to 62,7% +- 23 (p<0.05, paired t-test). Increased fatiguability of the affected muscles persisted in all patients. More than 50% of patients had recovered the absolute MVC force to more than the bottom fifth percentile value or 140 N. Some possible reasons for the decrease in force generation in the reinnervated muscles, among which randomness of reinnervation and axon loss at the suture, are discussed.
