A combined variation was identified in the left gluteal region of a new-born cadaver. The piriformis muscle consisted of a large upper part and a smaller lower part. The common peroneal nerve and a very small part of the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve passed through these two parts of the muscle. The common peroneal nerve formed the sciatic nerve by combining with the tibial nerve when it re...

A type of rigid flat foot which is accompanied by contraction of the peroneal muscles has long been recognised. The etiology is obscure. Correction of the deformity seems to be prevented by tension of the peroneal muscles, and there has been wide acceptance of the thesis that the deformity is caused by peroneal muscle spasm induced by painful stimuli arising from the tarsal joints. It has been ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of the study is to study the nerve conductivity of the tibial motor, peroneal motor, peroneal sensory, and sural nerves in patients with primary and secondary Raynaud's phenomenon (RP). SUBJECTS Twenty each: primary RP, secondary RP, and normal controls. METHODS Electromyography using distal latency (DL) and nerve conduction velocity (NCV) as dependent var...

We investigated the blood supply of the common peroneal nerve. Dissection of 19 lower limbs, including six with intra-vascular injection of latex, allowed gross and microscopic measurements to be made of the blood supply of the common peroneal nerve in the popliteal fossa. This showed that a long segment of the nerve in the vicinity of the fibular neck contained only a few intraneural vessels o...

The peroneal nerve anatomy of the rabbit distal hindlimb is similar to humans, but reports of distal peroneal nerve conduction studies were not identified with a literature search. Distal sensorimotor recordings may be useful for studying rabbit models of length-dependent peripheral neuropathy. Surface electrodes were adhered to the dorsal rabbit foot overlying the extensor digitorum brevis mus...

Compressive and entrapment neuropathy of the peroneal nerve is the most common entrapment syndrome in the lower limbs, often caused by mechanical or dynamic compression of a segment of nerve at the level of the fibula head. Because of its special anatomic situation, external compression while under trauma or traction is quite easy. A case of entrapment neuropathy syndrome in a 33-year-old man t...

BACKGROUND Recent studies have shown that stimulation of the peroneal nerve using an implantable 4-channel peroneal nerve stimulator could improve gait in stroke patients. OBJECTIVES To assess structural cortical and regional cerebral metabolism changes associated with an implanted peroneal nerve electrical stimulator to correct foot drop related to a central nervous system lesion. METHODS ...
