A Transverse Skin Incision Approach for Decompression of Pronator Teres Syndrome

T.-M. TSAI

From the Christine M. Kleinert Institute for Hand and Micro Surgery, Louisville, Kentucky, USA

Correspondence: Tsu-Min Tsai, MD, Christine M. Kleinert Institute for Hand and Micro Surgery, One Medical Center Plaza, Suite 850, 225 Abraham Flexner Way, Louisville, Kentucky 40202 USA.

Pronator teres syndrome is a compressive neuropathy of the median nerve in the proximal part of the forearm and distal part of the arm. The outcome of surgical decompression is occasionally unsatisfactory because of a poor scar. We present the use of a transverse skin incision that allows adequate exploration and decompression distally and proximally, beneath the subcutaneous tissue beyond the volar elbow crease.
