Nerve Transfer from the Long Head Triceps Nerve to Posterior Interosseous Nerve for Restoration of Wrist, Finger, and Thumb

Sonographic appearance of the posterior interosseous nerve at the wrist.

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine whether sonography can identify the distal posterior interosseous nerve at the wrist. METHODS On the basis of previous anatomic descriptions, high-resolution musculoskeletal sonography was used in an attempt to identify the distal posterior interosseous nerve in the wrists of 20 unembalmed cadaveric specimens (11 male and 9 female; ages 54...

Posterior Interosseous Nerve Compression

Interosseous transfer of tibialis posterior for common peroneal nerve palsy.

The interosseous route remains popular for tibialis posterior tendon transfer for drop-foot. It leaves a smaller range of movement than the circumtibial route, but lengthening the calcaneal tendon may improve this. The results of this present series indicate that, in order to predict a good functional result, the ankle must be held in at least 20 degrees of dorsiflexion at the time of tendon tr...

Posterior Interosseous Nerve Syndrome from Thermal Injury

Background. Due to anatomical proximity to bone, the radial nerve is the most frequently injured major nerve of the upper extremity, frequently secondary to fractures (Li et al. (2013)). We describe an incidence when a branch of the radial nerve is injured as a result of a thermal injury. Observation. Radial nerve injury can occur anywhere along the anatomical course with varied etiologies, but...
