Radial and Peroneal Nerve Grafting: Functional Results

Functional outcome after peroneal nerve injury.

The objective of this study was to describe muscle strength, ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) use, walking ability, participation and quality of life in patients with peroneal nerve injury. A historic cohort study (n=27) was performed with a median follow-up time of 61 months (inter quartile range 37-91). Muscle strength was assessed using the Medical Research Council scale. Perceived walking ability ...

The functional results of acute nerve grafting in traumatic sciatic nerve injuries.

BACKGROUND The sciatic and peroneal nerves are the most frequently injured in lower extremities, followed by tibial and femoral nerves. The aim of this study is to evaluate the functional results of acute nerve grafting in traumatic sciatic nerve injuries. METHODS A total of 9 patients with sciatic nerve defect were treated with primary nerve grafting. The mean age was 31.7 years. The etiolog...

The results of traction injuries to the common peroneal nerve.

Accessory deep peroneal nerve.

The anomalous innervation of the extensor digitorum brevis (EDB) muscle by the accessory deep peroneal nerve is presented below. This 23-year-old male was referred to the clinical neurophysiology laboratory for evaluation of possible lumbar radiculopathy. The nerve conduction study (NCS) and electromyography revealed abnormalities consistent with an S 1 radiculopathy on the right. Incidentally,...

Superficial peroneal nerve lipoma.

Lipoma is one of the most common benign soft tissue tumors. The most common location of lipomas is in areas of abundant adipose tissue. Lipomas arising in the peripheral nerves are rare tumors, with most arising in the forearm and wrist, and most have occurred within the median nerve. This report describes a case with lipoma arising in the superficial peroneal nerve.
