The anterior interosseous nerve syndrome involves paralysis of the flexor pollicis longus, flexor digitorum profundus of the index and long fingers, and the pronator quadratus. We have encountered 33 cases of an incomplete syndrome in which only the flexor pollicis longus or the flexor digitorum profundus of the index finger is either paretic or paralyzed. This entity must be distinguished from flexor tendon rupture, flexor tendon adherence or adhesion, and stenosing tenosynovitis. The nerve is usually compressed by fibrous bands that most commonly originate from the deep head of the pronator teres and to the brachialis fascia. Less common causes of compression are: fibrous bands from the superficial head of the pronator teres; bands from the superficialis arcade; the nerve running deep to both heads of the pronator; and compression by a double lacertus fibrosus. Patients presenting with paresis should be observed. Most will improve spontaneously without surgery. We recommend exploration and neurolysis of the anterior interosseous nerve in patients who present with complete paralysis of either muscle-tendon unit and who have shown no improvement as determined by physical examination or repeat electromyography after 12 weeks of observation. Recovery after neurolysis is often rapid and complete.

Diagnosis and treatment of congenital and acquired tendon disorders in cattle are discussed. A brief discussion of tendon structure, anatomy, biomechanics, and healing is included. Congenital abnormalities presented include hyperextension deformities, flexural deformities, arthrogryposis, and spastic paresis. Acquired abnormalities discussed include tendon displacement, tendinitis, tendon disruption, and tenosynovitis. Antibiotic selection for musculoskeletal infections is briefly discussed.

Contracted flexor tendon leading to flexural deformity is a common congenital defect in cattle. Arthrogryposis is a congenital syndrome of persistent joint contracture that occurs frequently in Europe as a consequence of Schmallenberg virus infection of the dam. Spastic paresis has a hereditary component, and affected cattle should not be used for breeding purposes. The most common tendon avulsion involves the deep digital flexor tendon. Tendon disruptions may be successfully managed by tenorrhaphy and external coaptation or by external coaptation alone. Medical management alone is unlikely to be effective for purulent tenosynovitis.
