Anterior Interosseous Nerve Palsy as a Complication of Forearm Fractures.
نویسنده
چکیده
Two cases of palsy of the anterior interosseous nerve were recently observed, each complicating a closed forearm fracture. A detailed description of this nerve lesion in association with a fracture has not, to my knowledge, been reported previously. The object of this paper is to record the findings and prognosis of the discrete nerve lesion observed in these two cases, and in addition to suggest why the anterior interosseous nerve is involved.

Three cases of anterior interosseous nerve palsy were diagnosed after internal fixation of fractures of the proximal radius.

Care should be taken to place such forceps in a subperiosteal plane.
