How Radial Tunnel/Supinator Release is performed
After specialist evaluation, an open or minimally invasive approach can be selected. During the operation, with the aid of magnification and neurophysiological monitoring, the posterior interosseous nerve and surrounding compressive fibrous bands, tendinous arches, and scar tissue are identified and gradually released. If necessary, the channel is covered or reshaped with protective material. After hemostasis and irrigation, the layers are sutured. Postoperative early monitoring of pain, sensation, and muscle strength, combined with rehabilitation to restore grip and forearm rotation function. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocol.
