Four patients had low- and 25 patients had high-level radial nerve palsy. The mean duration of tendon transfer after injury (paralysis time) was 19.7 months (range 1 day to 180 months). Clinical evaluations included joint range of motion and muscle strengths. Functional evaluation was made using the Tajima criteria. The mean follow-up was 56.9 months (range 5 to 90 months).\\r\\nResults: Muscle strengths were measured as follows: 3 (n=3), 4 (n=10), and 5 (n=12) for the wrist extensor muscle; 3 (n=7), 4 (n=10), and 5 (n=12) for the finger extensor muscle; and 3 (n=6), 4 (n=13), and 5 (n=10) for the thumb extensor muscle. The mean wrist range of motion was 67.4\u00b0, extension was 48.3\u00b0 (10\u00b0-70\u00b0), and flexion was 21.5\u00b0 (10\u00b0-55\u00b0). The mean metacarpophalangeal joint extension was 1.7\u00b0 (0\u00b0-12\u00b0), thumb abduction was 45.6\u00b0 (34\u00b0-56\u00b0), and thumb interphalangeal joint extension was 18\u00b0 (0\u00b0-30\u00b0). According to the Tajima criteria, the results were excellent in 15 patients (51.7%), good in nine patients (31%), and moderate in five patients (17.2%). Eight patients (27.6%) had radial deviation deformity and four patients (13.8%) had 1-level weaker finger extensor muscle strength compared to the other fingers. The flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) was used in the transfer of patients who developed radial deviation deformity.\\r\\nConclusion: Treatment of irreparable radial nerve palsy with tendon transfers yields successful results. Radial deviation deformity mostly occurs in patients receiving FCU transfer for finger extension.\n\n\u00d6zet\n\nAma\u00e7: Primer olarak tedavisi m\u00fcmk\u00fcn olmayan radial sinir felci olgular\u0131nda uygulad\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131z tendon transferlerinin sonu\u00e7lar\u0131 de\u011ferlendirildi.\\r\\n\u00c7al\u0131\u015fma plan\u0131: \u00c7al\u0131\u015fmaya radial sinir yaralanmas\u0131 nedeniyle tendon transferi uygulanan 29 hasta (5 kad\u0131n, 24 erkek; ort. ya\u015f 29; da\u011f\u0131l\u0131m 9-51) al\u0131nd\u0131.
