Posterior interosseous nerve palsy in a machine gunner
11st Battalion, 175th Infantry, 5th Regiment Armory, Baltimore, MD 21201-2288, USA.
Abstract:
We report the case of a 19-year-old Infantryman who developed posterior interosseous nerve palsy and a transient sensory deficit in a radial distribution after prolonged carrying of an M60 machine gun. Posterior interosseous nerve palsy has been reported in association with a variety of activities involving forceful, repetitive pronation and supination; however, to our knowledge, no previous cases of this palsy have been reported in association with use of a military weapon.
