Figure 1: Course of the common, deep (blue) and superficial peroneal nerve, sites of stimulation for motor nerve conduction studies are shown by green discs. Figure 1 Textbooks of neurology are just like cookery or gardening books. It is all so easy on paper. With a good working knowledge of neurological anatomy, it seems, almost any problem can be precisely localised. A couple of of hours yomp...

background: the transfer of the tibialis posterior tendon to the dorsum of foot can restore the function of the paralyzed dorsiflexor muscles of the foot and ankle. in order to reduce the wound complication in the insertion site of tendon to bone by a plantar knop we used a new method of fixation by an absorbable screw inserted dorsally. methods: we performed this operation on 15 patients in a ...

Weakness of the dorsiflexor muscles of the ankle or toe, referred to as foot drop, is a relatively common presentation. In most cases, foot drop is caused by a lower motor neuron disease such as peroneal peripheral neuropathy, L4-5 radiculopathic sciatic neuropathy, or polyneuropathy. Although upper motor neuron lesions can present as foot drop, the incidence is very rare. Here, we report an ex...
