Abstract

1. A case of posterior interosseous nerve palsy from compression in the supinator muscle by what appeared to be a simple ganglion is described.

2. Surgical decompression led to an effective cure.

3. The course of the nerve through this muscle invites compression.

4. Rotation of the forearm, especially with super-added deformity of the limb, may increase the compresssion.
