Anterior interosseous nerve palsy following internal fixation of the proximal radius.
نویسنده
چکیده
Three cases of anterior interosseous nerve palsy were diagnosed after internal fixation of fractures of the proximal radius. The suggestion that the nerve was injured at operation by bone-holding forceps was supported by operations on 12 cadaver forearms, in which the nerve was frequently trapped. Care should be taken to place such forceps in a subperiosteal plane.

There was palpable crepitus with active thumb motion, and wrist radiographs showed prominence of the volar plate at the watershed line. Therefore, our initial diagnosis was plate-induced closed rupture o...
