The superficial branch of the radial nerve is responsible for delivering sensation from the back of the hand, thumb, and first two fingers to the brain. If the radial nerve is interrupted, numbness of the back of the hand can result. Damage to the radial nerve is less common than the medial nerve. The trauma is also more obvious, as well. Rather than a subtle swelling pinching the nerve, the cause may be a bone fracture in the hand, for example.
Pressure on the radial nerve causes burning and numbness in the top of the hand and involves the thumb and first two fingers. Pressure on the ulnar nerve leads to numbness and tingling of the fourth and fifth fingers. Probably the most common cause of this problem- the technical term is âentrapment neuropathyâ- is carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The carpal tunnel is located on the palm side of the wrist.
