Arcade of Frohse, sometimes called the supinator arch, is the most superior part of the superficial layer of the supinator muscle, and is a fibrous arch over the deep division of the radial nerve.
The arcade of Frohse is a site of interosseous posterior nerve entrapment, and is believed to play a role in causing progressive paralysis of the posterior interosseous nerve, both with and without injury.
The arcade of Frohse was named after German anatomist, Fritz Frohse (1871âÂÂ1916).
