  • pathological findings of hourglass like constriction in spontaneous Posterior Interosseous Nerve palsy
    Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume), 2020
    Co-Authors: Masatoshi Komatsu, Kensuke Ochi, Hitoshi Nukada, Masanori Hayashi, Hiroshi Yamazaki, Hiroyuki Kato
    Abstract:

    We report the pathological findings of hourglass-like fascicular constriction (HLFC) under optical and electron microscopy. A 24-year-old man with spontaneous Posterior Interosseous Nerve palsy was treated by interfascicular neurolysis at 29 weeks after onset. One fascicle in the radial Nerve presented severe HLFC with torsion at 5 cm proximal to the elbow. Functional recovery was achieved by resection of the enlarged fascicle including HLFC and sural Nerve grafting. Proximal to the HLFC, the endoneurium was filled with clusters of regenerating Nerve fibers. At the level of the HLFC, a complete loss of myelinated Nerve fibers and vascular occlusion of endo- and perineurial vessels were found. Few regenerating Nerve fibers were observed. Distal to the HLFC, severe endoneurial edema, a complete loss of myelinated and unmyelinated Nerve fibers, and bands of Bungner were noted. These electron microscopic findings demonstrated a detailed pathology of the Nerve around the HLFC.

  • pathophysiology and treatment of spontaneous anterior Interosseous Nerve palsy and spontaneous Posterior Interosseous Nerve palsy
    Brain and nerve, 2014
    Co-Authors: Kensuke Ochi, Hiroyuki Kato
    Abstract:

    Abstract Spontaneous anterior or Posterior Interosseous Nerve palsy is usually treated as a part of neuralgic amyotrophy. However, recent studies have shown that many of these cases involved fascicular constriction in the affected Nerves, and interfascicular neurolysis may be a better option than conservative treatment in cases that do not show spontaneous recovery within several months. Here, we review recent studies on these palsies.

  • acute Posterior Interosseous Nerve palsy caused by septic arthritis of the elbow a case report
    Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume), 2003
    Co-Authors: Hiroyuki Kato, Akio Minami, Norimasa Iwasaki, Tamotsu Kamishima
    Abstract:

    Abstract A rare case of acute Posterior Interosseous Nerve palsy caused by septic elbow arthritis is reported. The Nerve was compressed beneath the arcade of Frohse by hypertrophied synovium and joint fluid at the anterior aspect of the radial neck. Decompression of the Nerve, synovectomy, and irrigation of the elbow joint were done. effective. Six months after the surgery the Nerve palsy had recovered completely. Two years after surgery there was no recurrence of the infection or Nerve palsy. (J Hand Surg 2003;28A:44–47. Copyright © 2003 by the American Society for Surgery of the Hand.)

  • clinical features and management of traumatic Posterior Interosseous Nerve palsy
    Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume), 1998
    Co-Authors: Kazuhiko Hirachi, Hiroyuki Kato, Akio Minami, Toshihiko Kasashima, Kiyoshi Kaneda
    Abstract:

    The clinical features and results of treatment were reviewed in 17 traumatic palsies of the Posterior Interosseous Nerve. Variations in clinical features depended on whether the recurrent branch or descending branch of the Posterior Interosseous Nerve was injured. Seven patients had Nerve repair, and two were treated by tendon transfers. Eight patients were treated conservatively. Sixteen of 17 patients recovered to more than M4 motor power at final follow-up. Associated muscle damage worsened the functional result.

  • transfer of supinator motor branches to the Posterior Interosseous Nerve to reconstruct thumb and finger extension in tetraplegia case report
    Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume), 2010
    Co-Authors: Jayme Augusto Bertelli, Cristiano Paulo Tacca, Marcos Flavio Ghizoni, Paulo Roberto Kechele, Marcos Antonio Santos
    Abstract:

    We treated a patient with tetraplegia who had paralysis of thumb and finger extension by transferring supinator motor branches to the Posterior Interosseous Nerve. Surgery was performed bilaterally, 7 months after a spinal cord injury. Six months after surgery, with the wrist in neutral, extension of the thumb and finger were almost full, bilaterally. In tetraplegic patients with strong wrist extensors, supinator motor branch transfer is a promising new alternative for the reconstruction of thumb and finger extension.

  • transfer of supinator motor branches to the Posterior Interosseous Nerve in c7 t1 brachial plexus palsy
    Journal of Neurosurgery, 2010
    Co-Authors: Jayme Augusto Bertelli, Marcos Flavio Ghizoni
    Abstract:

    Object In C7–T1 palsies of the brachial plexus, shoulder and elbow function are preserved, but finger motion is absent. Finger flexion has been reconstructed by tendon or Nerve transfers. Finger extension has been restored ineffectively by attaching the extensor tendons to the distal aspect of the dorsal radius (termed tenodesis) or by tendon transfers. In these palsies, supinator muscle function is preserved, because innervation stems from the C-6 root. The feasibility of transferring supinator branches to the Posterior Interosseous Nerve has been documented in a previous anatomical study. In this paper, the authors report the clinical results of supinator motor Nerve transfer to the Posterior Interosseous Nerve in 4 patients with a C7–T1 root lesion. Methods Four adult patients with C7–T1 root lesions underwent surgery between 5 and 7 months postinjury. The patients had preserved motion of the shoulder, elbow, and wrist, but they had complete palsy of finger motion. They underwent finger flexion reconst...

  • Anatomical feasibility of transferring supinator motor branches to the Posterior Interosseous Nerve in C7-T1 brachial plexus palsies. Laboratory investigation.
    Journal of neurosurgery, 2009
    Co-Authors: Jayme Augusto Bertelli, Paulo Roberto Kechele, Marcos Antonio Santos, Bruno Adler Maccagnan Pinheiro Besen, Hamilton Duarte
    Abstract:

    Object In C7–T1 palsies of the brachial plexus, shoulder and elbow function is preserved, but finger motion is absent. Finger flexion has been reconstructed using tendon or Nerve transfers. Finger extension has been restored ineffectively by attaching the extensor tendons to the distal side of the dorsal radius (that is, tenodesis). In these types of Nerve palsy, supinator muscle function is preserved because innervation stems from the C-6 root. In the present study, the authors investigated the anatomy and the feasibility of transferring the supinator motor branches to the Posterior Interosseous Nerve. Sacrifice of the supinator motor branches does not abolish supination because biceps muscle function is preserved in lower-type injuries of the brachial plexus. Methods The Posterior Interosseous Nerve was dissected in 20 formalin-fixed forearms. Through Posterior forearm access, the Posterior Interosseous Nerve and its motor branches to the supinator muscle were dissected. Specimens were removed for histo...

  • clinical use of supinator motor branch transfer to the Posterior Interosseous Nerve in c7 t1 brachial plexus palsies clinical article
    Journal of Neurosurgery, 2010
    Co-Authors: Zhen Dong, Chenggang Zhang, Lei Zhang
    Abstract:

    Object In C7–T1 brachial plexus palsies, finger extension and flexion are absent. At the authors' institution, finger flexion has been successfully reconstructed by transferring the brachialis motor branch to the anterior Interosseous Nerve. However, there is no reliable method for restoring finger extension. In the present study, the authors examined the surgical results of transferring the supinator motor branch to the Posterior Interosseous Nerve. Methods Since October 2007, the authors have performed a supinator motor branch transfer to the Posterior Interosseous Nerve in 4 patients. The patients underwent follow-up every 3–4 months postoperatively. Results Finger extension appeared between 5 and 9 months in the first 3 cases and demonstrated promising improvement over time. One recent case remains under follow-up. Conclusions A supinator motor branch to Posterior Interosseous Nerve transfer leads to reliable recovery of thumb and finger extension. Therefore, it is a viable option for C7–T1 brachial p...
