The posterior interosseous nerve (or dorsal interosseous nerve/deep radial nerve) is a nerve in the forearm. It is the continuation of the deep branch of the radial nerve, after this has crossed the supinator muscle. It is considerably diminished in size compared to the deep branch of the radial nerve.
In some cases of spontaneous paralysis of the nerve, releasing this fibrous band released pressure on the nerve and restored function [3] Considerably diminished in size, it descends as the posterior interosseous nerve. For some authors, the deep branch of the radial nerve is the same as the posterior interosseous nerve. [4] [5]
The deep branch of the radial nerve (also known as posterior interosseous nerve by some authors) [5] [6]) pierces the supinator muscle, winds around the radius under the cover of supinator to reach posterior of forearm where it again pierces supinator and after which it is known as the posterior interosseous nerve. It pierces the posterior ...
The increased pressure in the synovial sheath is known to directly or indirectly compress the posterior interosseous nerve of radial nerve. [14] Also, the extra pressure causes synovitis which results in pain in the dorsal part of the wrist.
The radial nerve provides sensation to the skin of posterior arm, posterior and lateral forearm and wrist, and the joints of the elbow, wrist and hand. The nerve also provides sensory branches that travel to the periosteum of the lateral epicondyle, the anterior radiohumeral joint, and the annular ligament.
The posterior cutaneous nerve of forearm is a nerve found in humans and other animals. It is also known as the dorsal antebrachial cutaneous nerve, the external cutaneous branch of the musculospiral nerve, and the posterior antebrachial cutaneous nerve. It is a cutaneous nerve (a nerve that supplies skin) of the forearm.
Anterior interosseous syndrome or Kiloh-Nevin syndrome I is a medical condition in which damage to the anterior interosseous nerve; Deep branch of radial nerve, also known by the Latin term nervus interosseus dorsalis; Posterior interosseous nerve, or dorsal interosseous nerve, is a nerve in the forearm
The arcade of Frohse is a site of interosseous posterior nerve entrapment, [2] and is believed to play a role in causing progressive paralysis of the posterior interosseous nerve, both with and without injury. The arcade of Frohse was named after German anatomist, Fritz Frohse (1871–1916). [citation needed]
