Sensory mechanical thresholds on the dorsal surface of the hand were evaluated using Semmes\u2010Weinstein monofilaments. Sensation was considered significantly impaired when there was no perception of a 2.0 gr. Semmes\u2010Weinstein filament. Nociception was evaluated using Adson forceps.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Five patients had normal 2.0 monofilament perception. Two of these five also had normal perception of the lighter 0.05 monofilament. In nine patients, zones of impaired sensibility were restricted to the first web space. In combined radial and musculocutaneous nerve lesions, the zone of impaired sensibility extended to the dorsum of the third metacarpus and occasionally to the dorsal aspect of the thumb. This zone averaged being five times the size as in isolated radial nerve injuries. On average, the zone of decreased 0.05 monofilament perception was six times the size detected for the 2.0 monofilament. No patient had complete anesthesia over the dorsum of the hand. No patient complained about pain or numbness. Only one patient among four with a combined radial and musculocutaneous nerve injury required sensory reconstruction.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Minimal sensory abnormalities should be expected after a radial nerve injury.
