RESUMEN
Two cases of tendon transfer for paralysis of the radial nerve due to trauma in the humerus have been operated by transferation of foream flexors such as flexor carpi radialis, pronator teres and palmaris longus at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Chosun University Hospiatl. The one case was a open fracture at midshaft of the humerus with cut down the radial nerve in the distal third of the humerus and with contaminated severe muscle injuries. The other case was radial nerve injury at the level of supracondylar area of humerus by the wound of deep laceration. The operative procedure carried out two month later after neurorrhpy of the radial nerve. However, the result of these cases were exhibited very good motor and sensory function of the radial nerve during two year follow up study. A review of literatures is included.
