Forearm muscle herniae and their treatment.
Three cases of forearm muscle hernia are described. Their aetiology differed but, in all three, symptoms were sufficiently severe to interfere with the patient's work. Surgical repair of the myocoeles, by closure of the fascial defects using lata onlay grafts or an interweave of palmaris longus tendon, produced complete resolution of symptoms and enabled the patients to return to full employment.
