Case observation on the common peroneal nerve injury.

چکیده

Peculiar anatomical features render the common peroneal nerve and its nutrient vessels particularly susceptible to damage in injuries about the knee. 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 laterally from the gastrocnemius to pass between the two heads of the peroneus longus. Here it is flattened and its constituent bundles are seperated, so that the nutrient vessels are exposed and left unprotected between them. Although Lyle (1925), Perrin and Labry (1926), Woltman (1930), Selig (1938), Lewin (1943), Weddell et al. (1943), Parkes (1960), Barrett and Cramer Fritz (1963), Marwah (1964), Burkhart and Daly (1966), Crothers and Johnson (1973), Gloobe and Chain (1973), Mangieri (1973) and Ogden (1974) have reported the various causes of injury to the common peroneal nerve, none of them have compared the incidence and the severity between the superficial and deep divisions of this nerve.
