title: Posterior interosseous nerve paralysis with multiple constrictions.
abstract: We report four cases of posterior interosseous nerve paralysis with multiple constrictions. At surgery the constrictions were found between the arcade of Frohse and a point of bifurcation of the supinator motor branch. External neurolysis with epineurotomy using the microscope was performed in all cases, and full recovery was obtained.
