This paper presents ten cases of radial nerve paralysis because of tumor and reviews 38 previously reported cases. The tumor distribution was 35 lipomas, four neurofibromas, four ganglions, three neuromas, one fibroma, and one neurilemoma. Malignant tumors are not discussed in this review. Electromyography is of value if diagnostic problems occur. Postoperative results are normally good.
The normal grip strength was determined with the Martin Vigorimeter in 450 men and women aged 21--65 years. The grip strength decreased steadily with increasing age. Men were stronger than women and in both sexes the dominant hand was the strongest. The ratio dominant/non-dominant hand varied only slightly with age and sex and it could thus be a useful parameter in evaluation of grip strength under pathological conditions.
