Peroneal Nerve Injury

Objectives: To describe the neurosurgical technical nuances of peroneal nerve injury management and to analyze the outcomes of patients diagnosed with peroneal nerve injury operated on at a single institution. Methods: Fourteen patients, all with electroneuromyography confirmation of peroneal nerve injury, were retrospectively analyzed. The variables analyzed included patient demographic characteristics, etiology of the lesion, preoperative neurological status, location of the lesion, perioperative findings, surgical technique, complications, and neurological status six months postoperatively. Results: Traumatic injury was the most common cause of peroneal nerve injury, accounting for 64.27% of cases. Concerning surgical technique, neurolysis was the preferred technique in most cases. Isolated neurolysis was performed in 50% of the cases, neurolysis combined with graft in 7.14%, and neurolysis combined with ganglion cyst excision in 21.43%. In our study, surgical treatment led to improvement in foot strength, with statistical relevance, in both sexes. Only one complication was observed. Conclusions: Surgical exploration and repair of peroneal nerve injuries achieved good results in this series, with functional improvement of the analyzed patients in both sexes. When appropriate, surgical repair can lead to favorable outcome and early surgery can be a therapeutic strategy in selected cases.
