What consequence does peroneal nerve injury have

First, the common peroneal nerve injury is often caused by trauma, mainly manifested as foot drop, walking across the gait; ankle joint can not be dorsiflexion and valgus, toes can not be dorsiflexion; lateral leg and dorsalis pedis skin hypoesthesia or loss; tibial and lateral leg muscle atrophy, ultrasound can accurately show the peripheral nerve, especially the common peroneal nerve, can provide imaging data for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Second, the clinical manifestations were paralysis of the anterolateral extensor muscles of the leg, dysfunction of dorsiflexion and valgus of the foot, and foot ptosis. The conduction velocity and amplitude of common peroneal nerve on the affected side decreased, and the latency of F wave or H reflex prolonged.

Third, the location of the injury is superficial and the nerve can be touched, so surgical exploration should be carried out as soon as possible. In the late stage, the deformity of foot drop was corrected by tendon transfer or ankle fusion. Foot lifting orthosis can be used to avoid abnormal gait caused by toe drop during walking.
