Abstract Background and aims : Disorders of the peripheral nervous system are common among which entrapment neuropathies are frequently encountered by the clinician. The knowledge of innervation pattern of median nerve to pronator teres are of considerable importance in understanding the various presentations of pronator teres syndrome, in investigating the lesions of median nerve, to plan adequate treatment and to avoid iatrogenic injuries during surgeries there by increasing the perfection of surgical approach. The aim of present study is to study the point of origin of muscular branches of median nerve to pronator teres muscle with respect to interepicondylar line and to study the number of branches of median nerve to the pronator teres muscle. Materials and methods : Fifty upper limbs procured from embalmed cadavers aged about 20 to 50 years were used for the study. Results : Out of total 50 specimens, nerve to pronator teres was arising at a mean distance of 1.31 ± 0.58 cm proximal to the interepicondylar line (range 0.5 - 3cm) and 1.2 ± 1.27 cm distal to the interepicondylar line (0-3.5cm). Conclusion: In greater number of the specimens, the nerve to the pronator teres was arising from the median nerve proximal to the interepicondylar line. In majority of the specimens the pronator teres was innervated by either single branch or two branches.

Object Various donor nerves have been used for brachial plexus neurotization procedures. To the authors' knowledge, neurotization of median nerve branches to the pronator teres to the radial nerve at the elbow have not been explored. Methods In an attempt to identify an additional nerve donor candidate for neurotization procedures of the upper limb, 20 cadaveric upper limbs underwent dissection of the cubital fossa and identification of branches of the median nerve to the pronator teres. Measurements were made of such branches, and distal transection was then performed to determine the appropriate length so that the structure could be brought to the laterally positioned radial nerve via tunneling deep to the biceps brachii muscle. Results All specimens were found to have a median nerve branch to the pronator teres that was long enough to reach the radial nerve in the cubital fossa. Neural connections remained tension free with full pronation and supination. The mean length of these branches to the pronator teres was 3.6 cm. The overall mean diameter of these nerves was 1.5 mm. The mean proximal, midpoint, and distal diameters were 2.0, 1.8, and 1.5 mm, respectively. The mean distance between the origin of these branches to the pronator teres and the medial epicondyle of the humerus was 4.1 cm. Conclusions Based on the results of our cadaveric study, the use of the branch of the median nerve to the pronator teres muscle may be considered for neurotization of the radial nerve in the cubital fossa.

Anterior Interosseous Nerve Syndrome

ABSTRACT Median nerve entrapment is a frequent disorder encountered by all clinicians at some point of their career. Affecting the distal median nerve, entrapment occurs most frequently at the level of the wrist resulting in a carpal tunnel syndrome. Median nerve entrapment may also occur proximally giving rise to the much less frequent pronator teres syndrome and even less frequent anterior interosseous nerve syndrome, which owing to the paucity of cases may prove challenging to diagnose. An unusual case of anterior interosseous syndrome precipitated by extraordinary exertion in a tetraplegic endurance athlete is presented with ancillary dynamometric, electrodiagnostic, ultrasonographic, and biochemical findings.

Object. In cases of irreparable injuries to the radial nerve or in cases in which nerves are repaired with little anticipation of restoration of function, tendon transfers are widely used. In this study, the authors searched for a more natural alternative for selectively restoring function, with the aid of a motor nerve transfer. Methods. Ten arms from five cadavers were used in the study. The posterior interosseous nerve and the median nerve together with their motor branches were exposed in the proximal forearm. The possibility of posterior interosseous nerve neurotization via the median nerve through its motor branches leading to the pronator teres, flexor pollicis longus, flexor digitorum profundus, and pronator quadratus muscles was investigated. The lengths of the nerves from points of divergence and their widths were measured using calipers, and the means with standard deviations of all nerves were calculated. Motor branches to the pronator teres, flexor pollicis longus, and pronator quadratus muscles were found to be suitable for neurotization of the posterior interosseous nerve at different levels and in various combinations. The motor nerve extending to the flexor digitorum profundus muscle was too short to use for transfer. Conclusions. These results offer a suitable alternative to tendon transfer for restoring finger and wrist extension in cases of irreversible radial palsy. The second step would be clinical verification in appropriate cases.
