Posterior interosseous nerve paralysis caused by fibrous band compression at the supinator muscle. A report of four cases.

Four cases are reported of paralysis of the posterior interosseous nerve, caused by compression of the nerve between the Arcade of Frohse and the two heads of the supinator muscle. All four cases were treated by decompression with excellent results.
