Objectives: The objective of this review isn't only to show that the compress affection of posterior interosseous nerve can be considered a occupational diseases, but, also, it should be included in the current ODL, among the "main activities able to induce radial nerve affection". Material and methods: To February 2010 it have been reviewed the following bibliographical database: Medline, Embase, Cochrane. Results: This bibliographical review allow us to conclude: SAF can have a occupational origin (fibrosis of short supinator is related with forearm repetitive pronosupinacion movements, and it is more prevalent in certain professions in which are made these kind of movements). SAF is the occupational origin neuropathy compress more frequent of radial nerve, and the most related with hand and forearm repetitive movements. The Arcade of Frohse is the most common radial compression place.
