Peroneal Nerve Entrapment

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Neurolysis peroneal nerve

The surgical approach for entrapment at the fibular head is usually through a curvilinear incision just distal to the fibular head. The subcutaneous tissue is bluntly dissected, and the common peroneal nerve is identified proximal to the peroneus longus muscle. The peroneal nerve is then released from the surrounding fibrous tissue and fascia. The nerve is decompressed distally as it dives under the peroneus longus muscle. The decompression at this site is essential. Certain authors state that an adequate decompression should extend beyond the bifurcation in the deep and superficial peroneal nerve and should involve cutting the intermuscular septa
