Abstract

Traumatic peripheral neuropathy can occur following fracture, dislocation, forceful reduction or direct
compression. During the emergency medical relief mission
for earthquake victims in Pakistan, between 30th Oct and
14th Nov 2005, four patients presented with wrist drop and
two others with foot drop, all with no underlying fracture or dislocation. All of them were attended by medical teams two to three days for the first time due to difficult rescue work and hard terrain. They were seen in field hospital on their follow up at four to five weeks.
