Arcade of Frohse
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arcade of Frohse, sometimes called the supinator arch, is the most superior part of the superficial layer of the supinator muscle, and is a fibrous arch over the posterior interosseous nerve. The arcade of Frohse is the most frequent site of posterior interosseous nerve entrapment, and is believed to play a role in causing progressive paralysis of the posterior interosseous nerve, both with and without injury.
The arcade of Frohse was named after German anatomist, Fritz Frohse (1871-1916).
