Jawaban
Penjelasan
### The patient has a mid shaft humeral fracture and wrist drop. Wrist drop is a condition where the patient is unable to extend the wrist due to weakness or paralysis.
## Step2: Correlate the symptoms with possible causes
### The radial nerve runs along the humerus, and a fracture in the mid shaft of the humerus can potentially cause injury to the radial nerve. This can lead to symptoms such as wrist drop.
## Step3: Make a diagnosis based on the correlation
### Given the symptoms and their correlation with the radial nerve, we can suspect that the patient has a radial nerve injury.
