Palsy of the posterior interosseous nerve (PION) of the forearm is not atypical. The etiology can be traumatic or non-traumatic. From 1991 to 1995. 15 patients with PION lesions were operated on at our hospital. The patients were divided into four groups. Group 1, consisted of three patients with non-traumatic palsy of the PION. Two of the patients were treated with neurolysis and one patient received a nerve graft. This group had only one patient treated with neurolysis who completely recovered from the nerve function. Group 2 had four patients with traumatic compression of PION who were treated with neurolysis. All patients in this group had completely recovered their nerve functions within three months of the operation. Group 3 consisted of seven patients with traumatic severance of the PION who were treated with nerve grafting. Six patients had completely revovered their nerve functions within six to twelve months after the operation. The remaining patient dose not completely recover due to multiple cuts in the forearm muscle. Gruop r consisted one patient with traumatic severance of PION who was treated with a direct nerve repair. This patient completely recovered his nerve function three months after the operation. Overall, for 80% (13/!%) of the patients the results were good to excellent, for 7% (1/15) of the patients the results were fair, and for 13% (2/15) of the patients, the results were poor. Results in this study demonstrate the promising nature of recovering regeneration power in patients with PION. Moreover, adequate surgery can yield excellent results. |
