title: [Anterior interosseus syndrome from the surgical viewpoint].
abstract: An isolated lesion of the anterior interosseus nerve has different causes and may be difficult to differentiate preoperatively. However, an exact diagnosis is necessary before starting immediate operative therapy or waiting for a change. One case of denervation of the flexor pollicis longus muscle is reported. The problems involved in clinical and instrumental diagnostic procedures and therapy are shown and discussed with reference to the literature.
