title: [Anterior interosseous nerve syndrome as differential diagnosis of closed isolated flexor tendon lesion].
abstract: Lesions of the anterior interosseus nerve can result in a variety of clinical manifestations, depending on location and degree of axonal damage. Clinical presentation with an isolated palsy of the flexor pollicis longus muscle is difficult to distinguish from a closed tendon rupture, especially when a trauma occurred. We would like to present five of our cases and discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic modalities.
