Another name for Wrist Drop

Another name for wrist drop is 'radial nerve palsy.' I'll add that in eventually, when I have more time.--aishel 18:31, 29 March 2006 (UTC) what about saturday night palsy?khurram

I removed 'saturday night palsy' which refers specifically to a radial nerve injury at the axilla. Wrist drop is a sign in Saturday night palsy but not synonymous with it, just as how melena is not another name for a bleeding peptic ulcer. Not sure if 'radial nerve palsy' should be kept and would appreciate opinions on this matter. Itemsmono (talk) 20:52, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
