Anterior interosseous nerve syndrome.

D N Collins, E R Weber

    Southern Medical Journal
    |December 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Anterior interosseous nerve syndrome causes partial median nerve paralysis. Prompt diagnosis and timely intervention, surgical or conservative, can lead to good functional recovery.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Anatomy

    Background:

    • Anterior interosseous nerve syndrome (AINS) is a specific form of median nerve palsy.
    • It results from compression or traction affecting the anterior interosseous nerve, a deep motor branch in the forearm.
    • AINS can occur spontaneously or secondary to trauma, presenting with characteristic motor deficits.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the clinical presentation and diagnostic indicators of anterior interosseous nerve syndrome.
    • To discuss the efficacy of conservative versus surgical management strategies.
    • To evaluate the prognosis for functional recovery following treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical presentations including forearm pain and pinch dysfunction.
    • Discussion of diagnostic alerts such as upper extremity fractures.
    • Consideration of electromyographic findings in assessing recovery.

    Main Results:

    • Early signs include forearm pain and impaired pinch grip.
    • Conservative management may restore function in some cases.
    • Surgical exploration is advised if no recovery signs appear by 8-12 weeks.

    Conclusions:

    • Prompt recognition of anterior interosseous nerve syndrome is crucial for effective treatment.
    • A timely treatment approach, whether conservative or surgical, offers a good prognosis for full functional recovery.
