Abstract

Etiology, clinical symptoms, and surgical management of radial nerve entrapment in the cubital fossa are closely related to the underlying anatomy. The most important cause of posterior interosseous nerve syndrome is the fibrous arch of the supinator muscle (arcade of Frohse). Clinical symptoms range from weakness to frank paralysis of muscles innervated by the deep branch of the radial nerve. Pain from the elbow radiating the dorsum of the forearm to the radial side of the wrist and hand, without paralysis, can be the presentation of the radial tunnel syndrome.
