Radial nerve injury on the left upper arm, unable to lift the arm, fingers cannot bend.

Patient's question:

Patient: Female child, 6 years old, in good health condition Current condition: Ten days ago, due to playing with children, the left shoulder was struck by a hard object, resulting in the inability to lift the arm and the inability to flex the fingers, accompanied by weakness

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your condition, it falls under severe external trauma, especially nerve damage, and recovery is very slow. Sometimes, it is difficult to recover completely in a lifetime.
Recommendation: Regular passive exercises should be performed to prevent muscle atrophy. Currently, methods such as physical therapy, acupuncture, and electrotherapy are commonly used for treatment. However, there is still no very effective clinical method.
