Posterior interosseous syndrome is a rare compressive neuropathy, with variable etiology, such as tumors, inflammatory disease, anatomical alterations, hypertrophy of Frohse arcade, radiocubital dislocations and idiopathic.

Surgical treatment has high rates of success in symptom remission. Need of performing tendon transfer is rare. We carried out review of bibliography of last 15 years, finding only 4 publications in this regard.

In this paper we present a clinical case of sever and evolved posterior interosseous syndrome in whom neurolisis and tendon transfer were performed in the same act; acceptable outcomes were obtained.

Keywords : Posterior interosseus nerve; Nerve compression; Tendon transfer.
