The posterior interosseus nerve compression syndrome (PINCS) is one of many compression neuropathies of the upper body and affects the extensor compartment of the forearm. Although conservative treatment is efficient in most cases, persistent situations can demand surgery for decompression. This study aimed to report a case of posterior interosseous nerve compression syndrome treated with surgical decompression due to the persistence of symptoms after the failure of the conservative treatment. Furthermore, the study highlighted the importance of following post-surgical orientations to achieve full recovery and minimize possible sequelae.
