Abstract
We report a case of tardy paralysis of the descending branch of the posterior interosseous nerve as a consequence of plate osteosynthesis for fracture of both bone forearms. The patient had been operated on 23 years earlier and palsy occurred after a gap of 19 years. The most probable antecedent cause of the palsy was the use of a high-profile implant. The patient was treated by removal of the plate and tendon transfer.
