Sunderland (1968) observed that, at the knee, this nerve is apposed to the neck of the fibula by the attachments of the deep fascia. In this way not only is the nerve securely fixed at this site, but it is also angulated where it turns abruptly la...

Tandem bullet injury: an unusual variant of an unusual injury.

Interosseous transfer of tibialis posterior for common peroneal nerve palsy.

The interosseous route remains popular for tibialis posterior tendon transfer for drop-foot. It leaves a smaller range of movement than the circumtibial route, but lengthening the calcaneal tendon may improve this. The results of this present series indicate that, in order to predict a good functional result, the ankle must be held in at least 20 degrees of dorsiflexion at the time of tendon tr...
