Treatment
The treatment and management of radial neuropathy can be achieved via the following methods:
Physical therapy or occupational therapy
Surgery (depending on the specific area and extent of damage)Tendon transfer (the origin remains the same but insertion is moved)Splinting

Prognosis
Radial neuropathy is not necessarily permanent, though there could be partial loss of movement or sensation. Complications include deformity of the hand in some individuals. If the injury is axonal (the underlying nerve fiber itself is damaged), recovery may take months or years and full recovery may never occur. EMG and nerve conduction studies are typically performed to diagnose the extent and distribution of the damage, and to help with prognosis for recovery. Culture and society
There are a number of terms used to describe radial nerve injuries, which are dependent on the causation factor such as:

Honeymoon palsy from another individual sleeping on and compressing ones arm overnight. Saturday night palsy from falling asleep with ones arm hanging over the arm rest of a chair, compressing the radial nerve. Squash palsy, from traction forces associated with the sport squash, happens to squash players during periods between matches. See also
Crutch paralysis
Peripheral neuropathy
