Anterior Interosseous Nerve Palsy.

چکیده
Unexplained paralysis of the muscles supplied by the anterior interosseous nerve of the forearm was recorded by Parsonage and Turner (1948), Kiloh and Nevin (1952) and Thomas (1962). In none of the patients they described was the affected nerve explored. Spontaneous recovery occurred in all, but it was long delayed and incomplete. We record here a case of “ isolated neuritis ofthe anterior interosseous nerve “ in which exploration revealed a mechanical cause and recovery was rapid and complete following surgical relief of compression.

متن کاملAnterior interosseous nerve palsy following internal fixation of the proximal radius.
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.
