Hand Funciton following Radial Harvest of CABG

[angelpriya]

I believe following a radial artery graft as choice for CABG ,we need to concentrate on Pronation and Supination mvements particularly the end range and also movements of thumb.there have been patients with complaints of (initial stage )numbness over the radial side of wrist.

hi bhuvnesh,

i dealt with radial artery graft patients on daily basis. What I could find was neurological impairments, numbness and tingling, At times transient and at times persistent. May be because of nerve bite in suture. Can you please let me know your variables to determine hand functions or in simple words, how r u measuring hand functions? Is it hand strength with dynamometer. please post some references or necessary links.

thanks
