Posterior Interosseous Nerve Compression Due to an Enlarged Bicipital Bursa Confirmed by MRIFrom the Division of Orthopaedic Surgery and Department of Radiology, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina and the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, New York, USA Correspondence: R. J. Spinner, MD. Box 3000 DUMC, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina 27710, USA. Posterior interosseous nerve compression is a well-described clinical entity with many aetiologies. Fewer than 12 documented cases of the condition due to an enlarged bicipital bursa exist in the literature. We describe a case in which magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used in the pre-operative assessment of a mass in the proximal forearm with a clinical diagnosis of partial posterior interosseous nerve compression.
