Patient charts were reviewed retrospectively. The LSUHSC grading system was used to evaluate the function of muscles supplied by the AIN.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p>Nontraumatic injuries included seven AIN compressions by bone or soft tissue. Traumatic injury mechanisms consisted of stretch or contusion (six patients), injection (one patient), and burn scar (one patient). Presentations included weakness in the flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) muscle to the index finger, FDP muscle to the middle finger, pronator quadratus muscle, and flexion of the distal phalanx of the thumb. Preoperative evaluations included electromyography and nerve conduction studies as well as elbow and forearm plain radiographs.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p>On surgery, lesions in continuity involved seven compressions, four stretch or contusion injuries, and one injection injury, all of which demonstrated nerve action potentials (NAPs) and were treated with neurolysis. Among the seven compression and four stretch or contusion injury cases, six and three patients, respectively, had LSUHSC Grade 3 or better functional recoveries postoperatively. Two stretch or contusion injuries involved lesions in continuity but demonstrated negative NAPs at surgery. Thus, each was treated using a graft repair after resection of a neuroma. There was one burn scar injury, which was treated via an end-to-end suture anastomosis, leading to a functional recovery better than Grade 3.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Fifteen AIN entrapments or injuries responded favorably to nerve release and\/or repair.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.2006.104.5.757","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,1,24]],"date-time":"2008-01-24T12:32:55Z","timestamp":1201177975000},"page":"757-765","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Surgical treatment and outcomes in 15 patients with anterior interosseous nerve entrapments and injuries"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"104","author":[{"given":"Daniel H.","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California; and Department of Neurosurgery, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, New Orleans, Louisiana"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Judith A.","family":"Murovic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California; and Department of Neurosurgery, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, New Orleans, Louisiana"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yong-Yeon","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California; and Department of Neurosurgery, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, New Orleans, Louisiana"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David G.","family":"Kline","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California; and Department of Neurosurgery, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, New Orleans, Louisiana"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1-1040757","series-title":"Acta Orthop Belg","first-page":"77","article-title":"Anterior interosseous nerve injury associated with a Monteggia fracture-dislocation","volume":"67","year":"2001"},{"key":"b2-1040757","series-title":"Hand Surgery","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"57","DOI":"10.1142\/S021881049800009X","article-title":"Anterior interosseous nerve syndrome","volume":"3","year":"1998"},{"key":"b3-1040757","series-title":"Injury","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"294","DOI":"10.1016\/0020-1383(89)90172-1","article-title":"Anterior interosseous nerve paralysis: an underdiagnosed complication of supracondylar fracture of the humerus in children","volume":"20","year":"1989"},{"key":"b4-1040757","series-title":"J Pediatr Orthop","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"47","DOI":"10.1097\/01241398-199501000-00011","article-title":"Neurovascular injury and displacement in type III supracondylar humerus fractures","volume":"15","year":"1995"},{"key":"b5-1040757","series-title":"J Pediatr Orthop","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"502","DOI":"10.1097\/01241398-199307000-00015","article-title":"Incidence of anterior interosseous nerve palsy in supracondylar humerus fractures in children","volume":"13","year":"1993"},{"key":"b6-1040757","series-title":"J Hand Surg [Br]","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"359","DOI":"10.1016\/0266-7681_87_90189-6","article-title":"Musculoaponeurotic variations along the course of the median nerve in the proximal forearm","volume":"12","year":"1987"},{"issue":"Suppl 2","key":"b7-1040757","series-title":"ANZ J Surg","first-page":"A303","article-title":"Anatomical and clinical study of anterior interosseous nerve and branches to flexor pollicis longus","volume":"73","year":"2003"},{"key":"b8-1040757","series-title":"J Hand Surg [Am]","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/S0363-5023(05)80046-2","article-title":"Acute neurovascular complications with supracondylar humerus fractures in children","volume":"20","year":"1995"},{"key":"b9-1040757","series-title":"Rev Chir Orthop Reparatrice Appar Mot","first-page":"306","article-title":"Atteinte isol\u00e9e du long fl\u00e9chisseur du pouce dans le syndrome du nerf interosseux ant\u00e9rieur.
