Function of the peroneal nerve should be evaluated in all patients with a history of inversion ankle sprain. Two cases were presented that demonstrated significant involvement of the common peroneal nerve following ankle injury. Manual muscle testing and sensory exams identified the involvement of the peroneal nerve, and electrophysiological testing localized the lesion and provided indications...

OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were: (i) to compare the neuro-prosthetic effect of implantable peroneal nerve stimulation to the orthotic effect of a standard of care intervention (no device, shoe or ankle foot orthosis) on walking, as assessed by spatiotemporal parameters; and (ii) to examine whether there is evidence of an enhanced lower-limb flexion reflex with peroneal nerve stimulation a...

Thirty-five total hip arthroplasties (33 patients) were performed in cases of Crowe grade III or IV hip dysplasia using subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy with two kinds of femoral stem: monoblock and modular type. All acetabular components were used with a cementless cup. The average patient age was 47.8 years, and the average follow-up time was 5.1 years. Acetabular reconstruction was perfo...

PURPOSE This study was conducted to evaluate the ability of sonography to visualize the ulnar nerve at Guyon's canal and the common peroneal nerve dorsal to the fibular head and to test for correlations between nerve measurements and subject characteristics. METHODS We used a 5-12-MHz linear-array transducer in sonographic evaluation of 15 healthy adult volunteers. We evaluated the correlatio...

BACKGROUND Sciatic nerve block when combined with femoral nerve block for total knee arthroplasty may provide superior analgesia but can produce footdrop, which may mask surgically induced peroneal nerve injury. In this prospective, randomized, observer-blinded study, we evaluated whether performing a selective tibial nerve block in the popliteal fossa would avoid complete peroneal motor block....

  Abstract   Background : Although, different studies on end-to-side nerve repair, results are controversial. The importance of this method in case is unavailability of proximal nerve. In this method, donor nerves also remain intact and without injury. In compare to other classic procedures, end-to-side repair is not much time consuming and needs less dissection. Overall, the previous studies i...
