Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

There are many options to take care for the nerve damage. We can suture the nerve, we can take branches from other nerves and can join them to radial nerve. You hadn't mentioned the age of your mother, in advanced age we prefer to do physiotherapy only so as to get as much function as possible from the remaining nerve, as risks of surgery outweighs its advantages.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Rohan Shanker Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
