- Abstract A 60-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) developed bilateral posterior interosseous nerve palsy. Her left side recovered after conservative treatment. However, her right side, which had been affected previously, did not recover and required surgery. Although conservative therapy, including administration of biologic agents, should be conducted for tight control of RA activity, we recommend surgical treatment when there is recurrence of the disease.
