Can common peroneal nerve injury recover

summary

Husband because of some trauma and lead to walking appeared some obstacles, and seriously affected the normal function of the leg. My parents suggested that I take him to the hospital for examination. The result was that my husband suffered from common peroneal nerve injury. Now let's talk about whether common peroneal nerve injury can recover.

Can common peroneal nerve injury recover

First, the common peroneal nerve injury is often caused by trauma, mainly manifested as foot drop, walking across the gait; ankle can not be extended and valgus, toes can not be extended back; lateral leg and dorsum of foot skin sensation decline or loss; tibial and lateral leg muscle atrophy. The conduction velocity and amplitude of common peroneal nerve decreased, and the latency of F wave or H wave was prolonged.

Second, the latency of SEP was prolonged, the amplitude of SEP was decreased, and the interval of SEP was prolonged. Ultrasound can show the peripheral nerve, especially the common peroneal nerve, provide imaging data for clinical diagnosis and treatment, and provide reference for surgical treatment.

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. If the patient's condition can't be treated correctly in the treatment, the secondary ischemic atrophy and softening of the nerve, at this time, it is not only nerve transplantation or tendon transplantation, but also its function may not get the best recovery. Therefore, the disability rate is very high, whether the recovery of treatment is the key lies in the early stage.

matters needing attention

Through the above brief introduction, we can have a certain understanding of the common peroneal nerve injury. In general, it can't recover by itself, so we must take the operation as soon as possible, because only with this method can we recover more likely, and can we live a normal life faster.
