	Pronator teres muscle - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The pronator teres is a muscle of the human body (located mainly in the forearm) that, along with the pronator quadratus, serves to pronate the forearm (turning it so the palm faces downward).
		The lateral border of the muscle forms the medial boundary of triangular hollow known as the cubital fossa, which is situated in front of the elbow joint.
		The pronator teres is innervated by the median nerve.

	ENTRAPMENT NEUROPATHIES OF UPPER LIMBS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The compression is caused by the tendinous origin of the deep head of the pronator teres muscle, which crosses the anterior interosseous nerve at its origin from the parent median nerve.
		Reduced amplitude of the dorsal cutaneous branch of the ulnar nerve or denervation in the ulnar muscles of the forearm implies the existence of a lesion proximal to the wrist.
		Denervation in the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles, sparing the cervical paraspinal, deltoid, and rhomboid muscles, is consistent with this diagnosis.

		Pronator teres, flexor carpi radialis, flexor pollicis longus, flexor digitorum sublimis, lateral half of flexor digitorum profundus, and thenar muscles weak objectively.
		The compression may be due to a hypertorophied muscle, or due to the lacertus fibrosus, the band travelling from the insertion tendon of biceps medially to the fascia of the forearm.
		The median nerve descends in the forearm adherent to the undersurface of the flexor digitorum sublimis and lying superficial to the flexor digitorum profundus.

		Pronation of the forearm is carried out by two muscles: pronator quadratus and pronator teres.
		The medial epicondyle is the attachment for the pronator teres muscle, as well as for a group of wrist and finger flexors.
		The muscles of the forearm, and their epicondylar attachments are shown in Figure 11.

	A Functional Approach to Median Nerve Entrapment: A Case Report - Health - RedOrbit
		Since carpal tunnel and pronator teres syndromes are often repetitive stress conditions, patients are encouraged to continue their supportive and preventive home care exercise program, even in the absence of symptoms.
		Since entrapment of the median nerve in the wrist and pronator teres muscle produces similar symptoms, it is critical to evaluate both structures, especially for patients involved with repetitive stress occupations.
		Provocative testing of the pronator teres and palpation of the forearm are also beneficial in isolating the level or levels of compression.

	Pronator teres muscle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The Pronator teres muscle is a muscle of the human body, in the forearm.
		The muscle passes obliquely across the forearm, and ends in a flat tendon, which is inserted into a rough impression at the middle of the lateral surface of the body of the radius.
		The lateral border of the muscle forms the medial boundary of a triangular hollow situated in front of the elbow-joint and containing the brachial artery, median nerve, and tendon of the Biceps brachii.

	Pronator syndrome Discussion
		Pronator syndrome refers to a disturbance in function of the median nerve due to some mechanical abnormality at the level of the forearm.
		Pronator syndrome is usually treated conservatively, with surgery to release pressure on the nerve an option for severe cases.
		Pronator syndrome may be an explanation for persistent or recurrent symptoms following surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome, and may be part of a double crush condition.

	Median Nerve at the Elbow (Pronator Syndrome) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The pronator muscle serves to pronate, or rotate, the forearm and hand to bring the palm of the hand downward.
		Pronator syndrome may arise if there is inflammation in the region where the median nerve travels through the pronator muscle.
		In addition, whereas carpal tunnel syndrome is marked by tenderness at the wrist, pronator syndrome is distinguished by tenderness in the proximal forearm.

	OCD - Humerus
		The pronated oblique, craniocaudal view is often of value in identifying lesions that may not be apparent on nonoblique craniocaudal view radiographs.
		The immediate postoperative stability of the approach using an osteotomy of the medial epicondyle and the approach using a longitudinal myotomy of the flexor carpi radialis muscle were significantly greater than that of the approach using a desmotomy of the medial collateral ligament.
		A myotenotomy of the pronator teres muscle can be performed if additional exposure is required; however, this is seldom necessary and should be avoided in performance dogs.

	Pronator Teres Syndrome
		This syndrome (also known as pronator syndrome) is uncommon and involves entrapment (compression or pinching) of the median nerve at or about the level of the elbow.
		Here the median nerve passes between the superficial and deep heads of the muscle and can become entrapped due to edema and hypertrophy (enlargement) of the pronator teres muscle.
		Entrapment at the pronator teres muscle does not involve the muscle since its nervous innervation comes from a point more proximal than the muscle itself sparing the pronator teres muscle.2 Neuropathies (nerve loss) at either site will involve both sensory and motor deficits on the flexor (palm) side of the forearm.

		The muscle then passes obliquely across the arm to attach to the lateral surface of the radius near its point of maximum convexity.
		Pronator teres forms the medial boundary of the cubital fossa and it is at this site that the muscle is palpated when it is tested by pronation against resistance.

		I've suggested it could be pronator syndrome but he says you would have definite hand tingling now and an EMG would have definitely showed it, but what I have read contradicts this.
		As for the pronator syndrome, technically you should have some numbness, tingling, or weakness in the hand area that is innervated by the median nerve (weakness/wasting over the base of the thumb in the palm or tingling in the fingers).

	Neuromyofascial pain syndromes \| David BenEliyahu
		Many peripheral entrapments in the extremities are often due to a muscle "tunnel syndrome." Peripheral nerves often traverse through muscle or ligamentous tunnels.
		For example, the median nerve passes between the two heads of the pronator teres muscle; the sciatic nerve passes under the piriformis, and the ulnar nerve passes through the heads of the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle.
		This muscle tunnel syndrome represents entrapment of the ulnar nerve between the humeral and ulnar heads of the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle.
