Imaging of Posterior Interosseous Neuropathy following Distal Biceps Repair: A Report of 3 Cases

الملخص EN

Three cases of PIN palsy following biceps repair are presented with clinical and imaging correlation.

The imaging findings in these cases will be discussed and the orthopedic literature, as regards possible surgical approaches and technical factors believed to predispose to or prevent this complication, will be reviewed.

It is important for radiologists to serve as consultants in these uncommon but sometimes devastating complications, helping to quickly and accurately recognize the imaging findings corresponding to the clinical symptoms and aiding the surgeon in diagnosis and treatment by identifying the possible causes and sites of nerve compression.
