Objectives: Short leg casts are routine applications in orthopaedic practice. The aim of the study was to investigate the course of the common fibular nerve and its branches (deep and superficial fibular nerves) around the fibular neck in order to describe a convenient method for applying the lower extremity casts with low risk of fibular nerve entrapment. Methods: Fifty lower extremities of 26 cadavers were examined. The point where common fibular nerve itself or its branches (deep and superficial fibular nerves) crossed over the fibular neck were dissected. The points where the nerve or its branches have risk of compression between the fibula and the cast were investigated in relation to fibular length. Results: The average fibular length was 356.9±26.4 mm. The common fibular nerve did not pass over the fibular neck in any specimen, instead, its branches crossed over it. The average distance from the tip of the fibular head to deep fibular nerve and superficial fibular nerve were 42.9±6.5 mm and 52±6.3 mm, respectively. The mean ratio of fibular length to these distances were 8.5±1.2 and 7.0±0.8, respectively. Conclusion: As short knee casts is a frequent application in clinical practice, it is important to determine a safe upper border for the casts to protect common fibular nerve or its branches. We recommend that the upper border of short leg casts should not exceed the upper 1/7th of the fibular length of the patient in order to avoid fibular nerve palsy.

Abstract Objective: The results of surgical repair of the fibular division of the sciatic nerve have been considered unsatisfactory, especially if grafts are necessary to reconstruct the nerve. To consider the clinical application of the concept of distal nerve transfer for the treatment of high sciatic nerve injuries, this study aimed to determine detailed anatomic data about the possible donor branches from the tibial nerve that are available for reinnervation of the deep fibular nerve at the level of the popliteal fossa. Methods: An anatomic study was performed that included the dissection of the popliteal fossa in 12 lower limbs of 6 formalin-fixed adult cadavers. It focused on the detailed anatomy of the tibial nerve and its branches at the level of the proximal leg as well as the anatomy of the common fibular nerve and its largest divisions at the level of the neck of the fibula, i.e., the deep and superficial fibular nerves. Results: The branches of the tibial nerve destined to the lateral and medial head of the gastrocnemius had a mean length of 43 mm and 35 mm, respectively. The branch to the posterior soleus muscle had a mean length of 65 mm. Intraneural dissection of the common fibular nerve, isolating its deep and superficial fibular divisions, was possible to a proximal mean distance of 71 mm. A tensionless direct suture to the deep fibular nerve was made possible by using the nerve to the lateral head of the gastrocnemius and the nerve to the posterior soleus muscle in all specimens. Direct suture of the nerve to the medial head of the gastrocnemius was possible in all cases except 1. Conclusion: The nerve to the lateral and medial heads of the gastrocnemius and the nerve to the posterior soleus muscle can be used as donors to restore function of the deep fibular nerve in cases of high sciatic nerve injury. However, proximal intraneural dissection of the deep fibular division of the common fibular nerve must also be performed. We recommend that the nerve to the posterior soleus muscle should be the first choice for a donor in the proposed transfer.

<strong><em>Background and Objectives</em></strong><em>: </em>The common fibular nerve (CFN) has anatomical variance between individuals as it transitions from the posterior thigh to the anterior leg. The nerve’s course around the fibular neck is of particular interest, where it becomes vulnerable to injury at the lateral knee. Therefore, we sought to compare factors that may predict distal CFN variability, such as height, age, sex, fibular length, and proximal sciatic variations, which individually or cumulatively play a role in predicting clinically significant locations where the CFN commonly transitions among certain populations. <strong><em>Methods:</em></strong><em> </em>In this cadaveric study, twenty anatomically-fixed specimens were analyzed, ten males and ten females. Data gathered included age, sex, height, CFN transition point measured from the proximal head of the fibular to the point 90 degrees off the midline of the fibula where the CFN courses around the fibular neck, fibular length, and proximal sciatic nerve variations characterized based on the Beaton and Anson classification system. Factors were compared and statistical values were generated. <strong><em>Results:</em></strong><em> </em>There was a statistically significant difference between CFN transition points compared to fibular lengths, heights, and between sexes. Sciatic nerve (SN) bifurcation levels and exits were bilaterally identical on all cadavers. All SN exits were Beaton and Anson type 1 (undivided nerve below and undivided piriformis), and bifurcation levels were 20% high, 25% middle, and 55% low. <strong><em>Conclusions:</em></strong> This study highlights the importance of considering a person’s height, fibular length, and sex when addressing injuries involving the CFN at the lateral leg.

Full textAbstract:
The need for concomitant proximal fibular epiphysiodesis (PFE) when correcting leg length discrepancy (LLD) with temporary proximal tibial epiphysiodesis (PTE) in children is controversially discussed. This single center, retrospective cohort study analyzes proximal fibular growth in patients treated by PTE with and without concomitant PFE. Radiographic measurements were conducted before implantation and at implant removal. The position of the fibular head in relation to the tibia was assessed with recently established radiographic reference values. All patients (n = 58, 19 females) received PTE to treat LLD at a mean age of 12.2 years (range 7 to 15). In 27/58 (47%) concomitant PFE was performed. Mean follow-up was 36.2 months (range 14.2 to 78.0). The position of the proximal fibula at implant removal was within physiological range in 21/26 patients (81%) with PFE and in 21/30 patients (70%) without PFE. Proximal fibular overgrowth newly developed in 2/26 patients (8%) treated with PFE and in 5/30 patients (17%) treated without PFE (p = 0.431). Peroneal nerve injury or discomfort due to proximal fibular overlength was not reported. The position of the proximal fibula should be critically assessed preoperatively under consideration of reference values before PTE. In consequence of this study, the authors do not routinely perform PFE concomitantly with PTE for correction of moderate LLD in children if the proximal fibula is localized within physiological radiographic margins determined by the established reference values.

Introduction: Osteochondroma is the most common benign tumor of bone. Tumors are metaphyseal in origin and commonly involve distal femur, proximal tibia, and proximal fibula in the lower extremity. Osteochondroma located at proximal fibula can change the normal path of nerves and it may lead to the compression of vessels or peroneal nerve, leading to paralysis. Case Report: We are reporting a case of an 18-year-old female with proximal fibular osteochondroma causing splitting of common peroneal nerve without any neuropathy. Conclusion: We strive to make the surgeons aware that, when removing osteochondroma located at proximal fibula, care should be taken to identify the entire nerve at the site of lesion before the removal as a procedure done in a hurry in such a case can cause irreversible damage to the patient. Keywords: Cartilage cap, peroneal nerve, osteochondroma.

Introduction:Bone tumors of the fibula are rare, accounting for only 2.5% of all bone tumors. The complexity of their diagnosis and management arises from their proximity to neurovascular structures, particularly the common peroneal nerve. Aim and Objectives:This study aims to assess and categorize fibular bone tumors in a series of patients and evaluate functional outcomes after treatment using the Knee Society Score (KSS). Materials & Methods: A total of 20 patients with primary or secondary fibular bone tumors were prospectively recruited. Treatment options varied from curettage for benign lesions to wide resection or amputation for aggressive malignancies. Results:Functional outcomes were measured using KSS at various intervals post-surgery. The results highlight the diverse nature of fibular bone tumors and the effectiveness of different surgical approaches in maintaining functional outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
Slimmer’s paralysis refers to a common fibular nerve palsy caused by significant and rapid weight loss. This condition usually results from entrapment of the common fibular nerve due to loss of the fat pad surrounding the fibular head. Several etiologies of common fibular nerve palsy have been proposed, including trauma, surgical complications, improperly fitted casts or braces, tumors and cysts, metabolic syndromes, and positional factors. We present 5 cases of slimmer’s paralysis in patients who had lost 32–57 kg in approximately 1 year. In 2 cases, MR neurogram of the knee demonstrated abnormalities of the common fibular nerve at the fibular head. Two patients underwent a common fibular nerve decompression at the fibular head and attained improved gait and sensorimotor function. Weight loss, diabetes mellitus, and immobilization may have contributed to slimmer’s paralysis in 1 case. Awareness of slimmer’s paralysis in patients who have lost a significant amount of weight in a short period of time is imperative to detect and treat a fibular nerve neuropathy that may ensue.

Category: Ankle Introduction/Purpose: Distal fibula fractures are most commonly fixated with plate and screw constructs. Conversely, modern generation fibular intramedullary nails are load-sharing devices that offer rigid internal fixation via percutaneous technique with only transaxial screws residing subcuticularly. The relative risk of damage to nearby structures is well characterized for plate and screws constructs; however, no such data is available for fibular nails. As a result, the purpose of this anatomic study was to assess the relative risk to nearby anatomic structures when implanting a current generation retrograde locked intramedullary fibular nail. Methods: This was an IRB-exempt study. Ten human cadaveric lower extremities were instrumented with a contemporary retrograde locked intramedullary fibular nail with three distal locking and two syndesmotic fixation options. The cadavers were then dissected by a single experienced orthopedic foot and ankle surgeon in a standardized fashion. The shortest distance, in millimeters (mm), between the site of procedural steps and nearby named structures of interest (i.e. sural nerve, superficial peroneal nerve and the peroneal tendons) was measured and recorded. Levels of risk were then assigned based on observed distances as high (0 to 5 mm), moderate (5.1 to 10 mm) and low (greater than 10 mm). Results: The peroneus brevis tendon was at high risk when making the distal skin incision in all specimens (Table). When reaming and inserting the nail through the distal fibula aperture, the peroneus brevis was at high risk in 7 specimens. The peroneus longus tendon was at moderate to high risk when inserting both the proximal and distal syndesmotic screws in 9 specimens. The superficial peroneal nerve was at high risk when inserting an anterior to posterior distal locking screw in 7 specimens. The sural nerve was at low risk for all procedural steps. Of note, no structures were observed to have been directly damaged. Conclusion: The current findings indicate that strict adherence to sound percutaneous technique is needed in order to minimize iatrogenic damage to neighboring structures when performing retrograde locked intramedullary fibular nail insertion. This includes making skin-only incisions, thorough blunt spreading down to bone, and maintaining close approximation between tissue protection sleeves and bone at all times. The current findings indicate that the peroneal tendons and superficial peroneal nerve are at the highest risk, and should be considered when performing relevant clinical outcomes studies.

Fibular tunnel syndrome is the most common tunnel syndrome of the lower extremity. Compression of the fibular nerve most often occurs at the level of the fibular head. The article describes in detail the etiology and pathogenesis of this tunnel neuropathy. Clinical manifestations of fibular tunnel syndrome are considered, methods of diagnosis and treatment are described. The prognosis of peroneal nerve neuropathy is favorable, and in most patients there is a complete or almost complete restoration of nerve function. If conservative treatment is ineffective, surgical techniques are recommended.

A 19-year-old baseball player was referred for assessment of recurrent sprains of the right ankle. This was found to be secondary to a palsy of the common peroneal nerve that was compressed by an osteochondroma of the fibular neck. The lesion was resected from the fibula and the patient made a complete recovery. We present this case as an example of a rare underlying problem in a patient who was initially diagnosed as having a sports-related ankle injury.

ABSTRACT There are few histomorphometric studies on the unmyelinated fibers of the fibular nerve in rats, and the number of experimental studies using this nerve has been increasing in the last years. Sixty-two percent of the endoneurial area from 10 fibular nerves of adult Wistar rats was scanned by electron microscopy, and digitized. The total number of unmyelinated axons (1.882 ± 271) was significantly lesser, and their axon diameters (0.2 µm to 2.8 µm) significantly higher than that determined in previous studies. The histogram peaked at 1 µm. The differences could be due to the nerve sampled area, the number and the age of the animals evaluated, and the laboratory techniques used. This study brings new and referential data to be used in experimental investigations involving histomorphometric evaluation of the rat fibular nerve.

ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to demonstrate the relationship between the deep fibular nerve and the dorsalis pedis artery to provide useful anatomical knowledge for safe surgical approaches in plastic surgery. The dissection of 30 cadaver lower limbs was undertaken to describe the relationship of the deep fibular nerve to the dorsalis pedis artery in the anterior tarsal tunnel and on the dorsum of the foot. The anterior tarsal tunnel is a flattened space between the inferior extensor retinaculum and the fascia overlying the talus and navicular. The deep fibular nerve and its branches pass longitudinally through this fibro-osseous tunnel, deep to the tendons of the extensor hallucis longus and extensor digitorum longus. Four distinct relationships of the deep fibular nerve to the dorsalis pedis artery were determined. The dorsalis pedis neurovascular island flap contains both the dorsalis pedis artery and the deep fibular nerve. Because the design of a neurovascular free flap requires detailed knowledge of the nerve and vascular supply, the data presented here are intended to help surgeons during surgical approaches to the foot and ankle.

ABSTRACT:Measured nerve conduction velocity in the fibular nerve increases across the knee during hip flexion. This is due to stretching of sciatic and fibular nerves. We modeled the additional nerve length required for the sciatic nerve to course around the flexed hip, based upon distance between the hip and the sciatic nerve on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The median distance from the femoral head to the sciatic nerve was 41 mm. The model predicted that 64 mm of sciatic nerve is required for hip flexion. This impacts our understanding of lower limb nerve conduction studies and clinical straight leg raising tests.

Although distal stifle joint nerve distribution has been well established in domestic animals, this approach is scarcely reported in wild animals. Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe the nerves of the leg and foot of Myrmecophaga tridactyla with emphasis on their ramification, distribution, topography and territory of innervation. For this purpose, six adult cadavers fixed and preserved in 10% formalin solution were used. The nerves of the leg and foot of the M. tridactylawere the saphenous nerve (femoral nerve branch), fibular and tibial nerves and lateral sural cutaneous nerve (branches of the sciatic nerve) and caudal sural cutaneous nerve (tibial nerve branch). The saphenous nerve branches to the skin, the craniomedial surface of the leg, the medial surface of the tarsal and metatarsal regions and the dorsomedial surface of the digits I and II (100% of cases), III (50% of cases) and IV (25% of cases). The lateral sural cutaneous nerve innervates the skin of the craniolateral region of the knee and leg. The fibular nerve innervates the flexor and extensor muscles of the tarsal region of the digits and skin of the craniolateral surface of the leg and dorsolateral surface of the foot. The tibial nerve innervates the extensor muscles of the tarsal joint and flexor, adductor and abductor muscles of the digits and the skin of the plantar surface. The caudal sural cutaneous nerve innervates the skin of the caudal surface of the leg. The nerves responsible for the leg and foot innervation were the same as reported in domestic and wild animals, but with some differences, such as the more distal division of the common fibular nerve, the absence of dorsal metatarsal branches of the deep fibular nerve and a greater involvement of the saphenous nerve in the digital innervation with branches to the digits III and IV, in addition to digits I and II.

Since common peroneal nerve is easy be injured because of superficial position of caput fibulae, less surrounding soft tissue and poor mobility, injury of common peroneal nerve is a problem worth discussing in the field of trauma orthopedics. Common peroneal nerve injury often causes foot prolapse, inability in dorsiflexion and eversion, sensory disturbance of anterolateral side of the lower leg and dorsum of foot. In this article, a case of old injury of lateral collateral ligament of knee joint combined with an avulsion fracture of fibular head resulting in injury of common peroneal nerve was reported and repaired by surgery with good effects.

Object This experimental study was designed to evaluate functional and sensory outcomes and morphological features observed after simultaneous end-to-side coaptations of distal stumps of two nerves to a single neighboring nerve. Studies were performed using both parallel and end-to-side coaptation (PEC) and serial end-to-side coaptation (SEC) methods in a rat model. Methods In the PEC group, distal stumps of the sural and common fibular nerves were coapted to the intact tibial nerve 1 cm apart from each other in an end-to-side fashion. In the SEC group, identical surgical procedures apart from the coaptation method were conducted. For the coaptation method in this group, the distal stump of the common fibular nerve was first coapted to the side of the intact tibial nerve, and then the distal stump of the sural nerve was coapted to the side of the common fibular nerve 1 cm apart from the first coaptation site. Nonoperated contralateral sides were used as controls. Nerve regeneration in both groups was evaluated functionally, electrophysiologically, and histomorphometrically. Conclusions When there is a need for two end-to-side coaptations of two severed nerves, PEC is the recommended method of choice to obtain better axonal regeneration into both nerves.

Background: The anatomy of the posterolateral corner (PLC) of the knee is complex. The approach of the PLC can be a challenging and stressful surgical time. Indications: The indications are posterolateral meniscal repair, open lateral meniscus allograft transplantation, posterolateral tibial plateau fracture, and PLC reconstruction for grade III sprains. Technique Description: The skin incision is straight, realized with the knee positioned at 90° of flexion, passing slightly posterior to the lateral epicondyle, anterior to the fibular head (FH), and ending on Gerdy’s tubercle. The subcutaneous tissues are dissected posteriorly so as to expose the FH and the biceps femoris (BF) tendon. The aponeurosis of the peroneus muscles is incised vertically opposite to the anterior side of the FH. The common fibular nerve is exposed at the neck of the fibula. Metzenbaum scissors are then inserted subaponeurotically, posteriorly, and parallel to the BF tendon, superficially to the nerve. An incision is made opposite the scissor’s blades, freeing the common fibular nerve. The BF tendon is spread forward and the lateral gastrocnemius is pulled posteriorly. Metzenbaum scissors are inserted in a closed position between the lateral gastrocnemius and the posterolateral joint capsule, and then spread to create a triangular door with a proximal base. The base consists of the BF tendon, the posterior side of the lateral gastrocnemius, and the anterior side of the posterolateral joint capsule. A counter-angled Hohmann retractor can now be applied against the posterior tibial plateau to retract the lateral gastrocnemius posteriorly and medially, exposing the PLC of the knee. Results: Noble structures are easily exposed and protected. The common fibular nerve is dissected and reclined posteriorly, and the popliteus vessels are reclined posteriorly and medially, protected by the lateral gastrocnemius. Passing under the BF tendon allows a better vision of the PLC along with less constraint than passing above, as the working window is further away from the femoral insertion of the lateral gastrocnemius. Discussion/Conclusion: The present surgical approach allows a simple, safe, and reproducible exposure of the PLC of the knee.

The neurophysiologic study in the modality of electroneuromyography (ENMG) determined and quantified the components in the motor ambit. The main data supplied by the examination was from the motor and sensory nerve conduction studies and by electromyography. However, many factors can interfere with the nervous response to electrostimulation, such as: age, gender, temperature, humidity, and other things. The aim of this work was to verify the effect of surgical exposure of the sciatic, common fibular, tibial, and cranial tibial muscle nerves in a neurophysiologic test on rats. Twenty (20) Wistar male rats were utilized, with approximately 80 days of age, divided into two groups. In the normal group the exam was made without the surgical exposure of the fibular nerve. In the surgical group the common fibular nerve was exposed. With the experimental model utilized, it was concluded that the neurophysiologic test done on animals with nerves and muscles surgically exposed is viable, since the alteration in animal temperature did not interfere significantly with the values of the electrophysiological parameters observed. In addition, the exposure of nerves and muscles allows stimulation of an exact point on the target nerve.

The study objective is to report a case of dynamic neuropathy of the common peroneal nerve at the level of the fibular head and to discuss diagnostic methods and neurosurgical treatment. Materials and methods. We report a case of dynamic neuropathy of the common peroneal nerve at the level of the fibular head in a female patient. The patient was treated in the Neurology Clinic of I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University. We analyzed clinical manifestations and compared them with the data described in research literature. Results. Upon admission, the patient complained of pain in the anterolateral surface of the right shin and in the dorsum of the foot during walking. At rest, the patient experienced no pain. We observed no motor or sensory disorders typical of nerve root disorders at the level of L5. Lasegue’s test was negative. The patient had a positive Tinel’s sign in the area of the right fibular head. In order to clarify the diagnosis, we performed a repeated extension test in the right ankle joint and it was positive. The patient underwent surgery that included peroneal nerve decompression and neurolysis at the level of the fibular head. In the postoperative period, the patient had complete pain relief. Conclusion. Due to the difficulties in the diagnostics of dynamic neuropathy of the common peroneal nerve, this disease is often mistaken for radiculopathy at the level of L5. Thorough clinical examination, testing for Tinel’s sign in the area of the fibular head, and repeated extension test in the ankle joint ensure the correct diagnosis and reduce the frequency of ineffective surgeries on the lumbar spine. Surgical decompression of the common peroneal nerve at the level of the fibular head with obligatory opening of the entrance to the nerve canal is an effective method of treatment in such patients.

Introduction: Common peroneal nerve (CPN) palsy in the pediatric population is rare, particularly in the absence of trauma. Among the uncommon causes, osteochondroma of the fibular head can lead to compressive neuropathy. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention are crucial to achieving optimal outcomes. Case Report: A 9-year-old male child with acute onset of foot drop leading to high stepping gait. Clinical examination revealed complete loss of left ankle dorsiflexion with no sensory loss. In comparison to other right knee, there was a smooth rounded prominence felt over the fibular head and neck. Radiological and electromyography investigations suggested sessile bony swelling possibly osteochondroma of fibular head denting on Common peroneal nerve (CPN). Early surgical intervention in the form of osteochondroma excision and neurolysis of the CPN offered complete recovery. We describe the case of a 9-year-old boy who had an osteochondroma of the fibular head resulting in common peroneal neuropathy and full foot drop. We go over the diagnosis, course of treatment, and body of research on nerve issues in paediatric children associated with osteochondroma. Conclusion: Atraumatic common peroneal palsy is rare in adolescent age. Fibular head osteochondroma should always be kept in mind considering age group and possible location of pressure nerve palsy which fully recovers with early surgical intervention. Keywords: Acute, common peroneal, osteochondroma, nerve palsy, foot drop, adolescent.

Entrapment neuropathies of the fibular nerve and its branches are often underdiagnosed due to the lack of reliable diagnosis using clinical examination and electrophysiologic evaluation. Most fibular nerve compressions may be classified into 2 broad categories: (a) mechanical causes, which occur at fibrous or fibro-osseous tunnels, and (b) dynamic causes related to nerve injury during specific limb positioning. Foot drop resulting from weakness of the dorsiflexor muscles of the foot is a relatively uncommon presentation and closely related to L5 neuropathy caused by a disc herniation. However, we herein describe a rare case of usually painless foot drop triggered by a cyst at the proximal tibiofibular joint compressing the deep fibular nerve. The presence of multilevel disc diseases made the diagnosis more difficult. Foot drop is highly troubling, and health care providers need to broaden their search for the imperative and overlapping causes especially in patients with painless drop foot, and the treatment is variable and should be directed at the specific cause. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including high-resolution and 3D MR neurography, allows detailed assessment of the course and anatomy of peripheral nerves, as well as accurate delineation of surrounding soft-tissue and osseous structures that may contribute to nerve entrapment. Knowledge of normal MRI anatomy of the nerves in the knee and leg is essential for the precise assessment of the presence of peripheral entrapment conditions that may produce painless or painful drop foot. In conclusion, we stress the importance of preoperative anatomic mapping of entrapment neuropathies to minimize neurological complications. Key words: Foot drop, fibular nerve, ganglion cyst, proximal tibiofibular joint

Full textAbstract:
Background and Objectives: Proximal tibiofibular joint detachment (PTFJD) is a fibular untethering procedure during lateral closing-wedge high tibial osteotomy (LCWHTO) for varus knee osteoarthritis. However, the PTFJD procedure is technically demanding, and confirmation of clear joint separation is not straightforward. The aim of this study was to compare the degree of completion and safety of PTFJD versus tibial-sided osteotomy (TSO); this latter procedure is our novel technique for fibular untethering during LCWHTO. Materials and Methods: Sixteen fresh frozen cadaver knees from eight cadavers were included in the study. Among the eight pairs of knees, one knee was randomly assigned to undergo PTFJD and the other knee to undergo TSO, which separates the fibula by osteotomizing the lateral cortex of the proximal tibia at the medial side of the proximal tibiofibular joint for fibular untethering during LCWHTO. After each procedure with LCWHTO, the posterior compartment of each knee was dissected to compare the degree of procedural completion and the distance from the posterior detachment or osteotomy site to posterior neurovascular structures between PTFJD and TSO groups. The pass-through test crossing the separation site from anterior to posterior using an osteotome was also performed to evaluate the protective effect of the muscular structures of the posterior compartment. Results: In the PTFJD group, four of eight cases (50%) showed fibular head fractures rather than division of the proximal tibiofibular joint. In contrast, in all TSO cases, the lateral cortex of the proximal tibia was clearly osteotomized from the medial side of the posterior proximal tibiofibular joint. Distances from the posterior detachment or osteotomy site to the common peroneal nerve, popliteal artery, and anterior tibial artery in the PTFJD and TSO groups were 20.8 ± 3.3 mm and 22.9 ± 3.6 mm (p = 0.382), 11.0 ± 2.4 mm and 9.8 ± 2.8 mm (p = 0.382), and 14.8 ± 1.9 mm and 14.9 ± 2.5 mm (p = 0.721), respectively. In the pass-through test, an osteotome was able to pass anteriorly to posteriorly in all eight PTFJD group cases. However, the osteotome was blocked posteriorly by the popliteus muscle in the TSO group cases, indicating protection of posterior neurovascular structures during the TSO procedure. Conclusions: TSO, a novel fibular untethering procedure for LCWHTO, resulted in clear separation of the fibula from the lateral tibial cortex, and protection of posterior neurovascular structures by the popliteus muscle during the procedure. We anticipate that our novel surgical technique will provide more clear-cut and safer fibular untethering for LCWHTO.

Osteochondroma is a relatively common benign tumor of the bone, and compressive neuropathies due to osteochondroma are comparatively rare. Here, we present a rare case of osteochondroma of the fibular head that caused peroneal nerve palsy in an 8-year-old girl. Physical examination revealed 0/5 tibialis anterior, 1/5 extensor hallucis longus, and 1/5 peroneal brevis muscle power—according to the manual muscle testing grading system, as well as numbness on the lateral side of the right leg and the back of the foot. Radiological examination and ultrasound revealed a bone tumor in the head of the right fibula. Magnetic resonance imaging ruled out spinal nerve root compression. It was discovered that the bone tumor in the fibular head had compressed and displaced the common peroneal nerve. The patient underwent surgical decompression of the right peroneal nerve. A bone region measuring 22 × 14 × 8 mm was removed. Three months postoperatively, the preoperative neurological deficits were found to be nearly resolved. The patient presented with a foot drop for 1 year, but symptoms resolved 3 months after surgery. Conventional wisdom states that surgery should be performed within 3 months, but we recommend that surgery be performed as soon as diagnosis is made even in cases with a long history, as it may improve patient symptoms and outcomes.

Common peroneal neuropathy is the most common compressive neuropathy in the lower extremities. The anatomical relationship of the fibular head with the peroneal nerve explains entrapment in this location. We report the case of a 14-year-old boy admitted with a left foot drop. The diagnosis was an osteochondroma of the proximal fibula compressing the common peroneal nerve. The patient underwent surgical decompression of the nerve and resection of the exostosis. Three months postoperatively, there was a complete recovery of the deficits. The association of osteochondroma and peroneal nerve palsy is rare. Early diagnosis is required in order to adjust the management and improve the results. It is worth to underscore that surgical resection is proven to be the appropriate treatment method ensuring high success rates.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: The posterolateral approach was first described by Gatellier and Chastang in 1924 for assessing fragments of the posterior malleolar bone in ankle fractures. The correct posterior exposure of the distal tibia also makes it possible to treat osteochondritis dissecans of the talus, to excise benign tumors and to perform arthrodesis of the posterior facet of the subtalar joint. The objective of our study was to assess the exposure area of the posterior region of the distal tibia in the posterolateral approach and to determine its safety. Methods: The study was conducted on the fresh cadaver of a 54-year-old man without scars at the site. With the body positioned in dorsal decubitus, we marked the reference points. A 12-cm longitudinal incision was made halfway between the lateral malleolus and the Achilles tendon, extending distally along the posterior border of the fibula toward the fifth metatarsal. The sural nerve follows its course at a constant distance, on average 2.5 cm, posterior to the fibula. After the incision of the peroneal retinaculum sheath was made, the tendons were exposed and moved to the anterior. In the medial region, we moved the Achilles tendon and exposed the flexor hallucis longus tendon, moving it medially and exposing the posterior region of the tibia and syndesmosis. Using a digital caliper (Mitutoyu Kawasaki, Japan), we measured the exposed area. We respected a 40-mm safety area where the fibular artery arises from the bifurcation of the tibial-fibular trunk. We chose not to perform fibular osteotomy or a longitudinal section of the flexor hallucis longus tendon. Results: A 30.44-mm segment was exposed in the transverse plane of the distal tibial region that begins at the posterior distal tibiofibular syndesmosis. Conclusion: The posterolateral approach provides excellent exposure of the distal region of the tibia with great safety. The tibial nerve and the posterior tibial artery are safe after the flexor hallucis longus tendon is moved, and the sural nerve is contained in the region proximal to the approach. The exposed area stretches to the region near the medial malleolus, and the flexor retinaculum prevents a more medial approach. We conclude that the posterolateral approach is safe even for more medial lesions restricted to the flexor retinaculum.

Peroneal neuropathy is a common pathology encountered by neurosurgeons. Symptoms include pain, numbness, and foot drop. When secondary to compression of the nerve at the fibular head, peroneal (fibular) nerve release is a low-risk procedure that can provide excellent results with pain relief and return of function. In this video, the authors highlight key operative techniques to ensure adequate decompression of the nerve while protecting the 3 major branches, including the superficial peroneal nerve, deep peroneal nerve, and recurrent genicular (articular) branches. Key steps include positioning, circumferential nerve dissection, fascial opening, isolation of the major branches, and closure.The video can be found here: https://youtu.be/0y9oE8w1FIU.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Common peroneal nerve (CPN) disruption is the most common lower extremity nerve injury and results in gait disturbances and sensory paresthesias. The goal of this study is to describe branching patterns and the intraneural topography of the CPN to facilitate operative planning in CPN reconstruction. Methods: The CPN and its distal motor and sensory branches were dissected in 6 lower leg cadavers. Branching patterns and distances were recorded with the fibular head as the landmark. Histological review of the nerve cross sections helped characterize the intraneural topography within the fibular tunnel. Results: The CPN distal branching patterns were highly variable. The tibialis anterior motor branch was found on average 9.6 cm distal to the fibular head. Despite the variable branching patterns, the fascicular topography of the CPN within the fibular tunnel was consistent. Proximal to the tunnel, the nerve has 3 major fascicles, which include the superficial peroneal motor, common sensory, and deep peroneal motor (DPN) fascicles from lateral to medial. Within the tunnel, the topography consolidates into the superficial peroneal motor and DPN major divisions—motor axons anteriorly and sensory axons posteriorly. Conclusions: The data presented provide clinically relevant information for the peripheral nerve surgeon where fascicular reconstruction of the nerve and neurolysis should focus on the anterior half of the nerve to restore ankle dorsiflexion. The nerve proximally is divided into 3 major fascicles compared with 2 distally. Surgeons may consider distal nerve transfers from the tibial nerve motor branches to the DPN or tibialis anterior motor branch.

Full textAbstract:
SUMMARY A study was conducted to determine the acceptable fibular motor nerve conduction velocity (ncv) in goats and to characterize pressure-induced changes in conduction velocity and muscle-evoked potentials (mep). The acceptable motor ncv in the adult goat was determined to be 95.9 ± 6.8 m/s. Limb compression in recumbent cows was modeled by application of external compression to the goat pelvic limb to increase im pressure to a minimum of 50 mm of Hg. This pressure, when applied for a 6-hour period, caused a 30% to 100% reduction of fibular motor ncv and a 10% to 100% reduction of amplitude of mep measured from fibularis (peroneus) tertius muscle. The reduction of motor ncv and mep was associated with clinically evident limb dysfunction. The changes detected by the electrodiagnostic tests were proportional to the magnitude and duration of the locomotor deficits. The limb dysfunction was accompanied by muscular damage indicated by an increase of serum creatine kinase activity.

Full textAbstract:
Slimmer’s paralysis is a peripheral mononeuropathy of the common peroneal (fibular) nerve (CPN/CFN), typically associated with rapid weight loss resulting in loss of subcutaneous fat pad and subsequent neural compression at the fibular head. Here, we describe a young man with a 1-year history of right-sided foot drop, which developed following a rapid intentional weight loss of 11 kg over a period of 15 days. This weight loss was preceded by rapid weight gain over 2 days owing to binge eating. Laboratory parameters for systemic/metabolic disorders were unremarkable. Radiology of the lumbosacral spine was unremarkable. Confounding risk factors included high-intensity training, frequent squatting and stretching. Electrophysiological studies revealed common peroneal (fibular) neuropathy at the fibular head with persistent denervation. This case highlights the diagnostic dilemma between lumbosacral plexopathy/radiculopathy and common peroneal (fibular) neuropathy. Electrophysiological studies and radiological assessment of the lumbosacral spine suggest that neither CPN nor lumbosacral surgical decompression would be beneficial, emphasising the need for tendon transfer.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to describe an arthroscopic surgical approach to identify and expose the popliteus tendon (PT), posterior fibular head, Fibular collateral ligament (FCL), popliteal fibular ligament (PFL), biceps femoris tendon, and the peroneal nerve. Methods 10 fresh human cadaveric knees were examined arthroscopically using standard anterior and posterior portals. The use of a transeptal approach with both posteromedial and posterolateral portals was required using a standard 30 degrees arthroscope. Optimal portal placement and specific technique and sequence for appropriate visualization of the PLC structures were tested and documented. Results In all specimens, all the PLC structures that we attempted to identify were successfully visualized. These included the PT, posterior fibular head, the FCL, the PFL, biceps femoris tendon, peroneal nerve, PT and FCL femoral attachments. Conclusion This study demonstrated that the identification and exposure of the PLC structures using an all arthroscopic approach can be successfully performed with precise portal placement. This technique may serve as a basis for arthroscopic treatment of PLC injuries.

Objectives The aim of this study was to identify patient- and treatment-specific independent risk factors for the recurrence of proximal fibular tumors and complications of their surgical management. Methods Patients who underwent surgical treatment of proximal fibular tumors at our institution from 2004 to 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. All patients had a pathologically confirmed diagnosis and were followed up for at least 12 months for recurrence and complications. All patients were evaluated with respect to seven patient-, disease-, and treatment-specific variables. Results In the univariate analysis, peroneal nerve palsy at presentation and malignancy were associated with an increased risk of recurrence, iatrogenic peroneal nerve injury, and wound healing problems. The multivariate analysis showed that peroneal nerve palsy at presentation was an independent risk factor for recurrence and iatrogenic peroneal nerve injury and that malignancy was an independent risk factor for wound healing problems. Conclusions Peroneal nerve palsy and malignant potential are independent risk factors for complications of surgical treatment of proximal fibular tumors. The recognition of these factors may contribute to proper management and help to prevent recurrence and postoperative complications.

Full textAbstract:
Background and purpose Clinical comparisons do not usually take laterality into account and thus may report erroneous or misleading data. The concept of laterality, well evaluated in brain and motor systems, may also apply at the level of peripheral nerves. Therefore, we sought to evaluate the extent to which we could observe an effect of laterality in MRI-collected white matter indices of the sciatic nerve and its two branches (tibial and fibular). Materials and methods We enrolled 17 healthy persons and performed peripheral nerve diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and magnetization transfer imaging (MTI) of the sciatic, tibial and fibular nerve. Participants were scanned bilaterally, and findings were divided into ipsilateral and contralateral nerve fibers relative to self-reporting of hand dominance. Generalized estimating equation modeling was used to evaluate nerve fiber differences between ipsilateral and contralateral legs while controlling for confounding variables. All findings controlled for age, sex and number of scans performed. Results A main effect of laterality was found in radial, axial, and mean diffusivity for the tibial nerve. Axial diffusivity was found to be lateralized in the sciatic nerve. When evaluating mean MTR, a main effect of laterality was found for each nerve division. A main effect of sex was found in the tibial and fibular nerve fiber bundles. Conclusion For the evaluation of nerve measures using DWI and MTI, in either healthy or disease states, consideration of underlying biological metrics of laterality in peripheral nerve fiber characteristics need to considered for data analysis. Integrating knowledge regarding biological laterality of peripheral nerve microstructure may be applied to improve how we diagnosis pain disorders, how we track patients’ recovery and how we forecast pain chronification.

Category: Ankle Introduction/Purpose: The bifurcation of the sciatic nerve results in the common peroneal nerve, along with the tibial nerve. A commonly block used before foot and ankle surgery is the sciatic block. This block requires an ultrasound or neurostimulation for accurate placement and can take time to administer effectively. We believe that the common peroneal, or high fibular nerve block, may be equivalent in some clinical circumstances to the sciatic block and does not require additional imaging for accurate placement. Methods: In this study, a mixture comprised of 5 mL 0.5% bupivacaine and 5 mL 1% lidocaine was used for each patient. Certain surface anatomic landmarks were used to place the block without ultrasound or neurostimulation. The time spent administering the block was recorded. Patients were not given pain medicines in the recovery unit unless the block did not work. A follow-up questionnaire was completed within 24 hours following surgery, and this was used to assess aspects of the patient’s post-operative experience. These include the number of hours following surgery that the patient: 1) first felt pain, 2) first took pain medication, 3) first felt tingling, 4) fully regained feeling in his/her leg, and 5) could wiggle his/her toes. Also, any complications were recorded. Results: This study involved 21 patients with an average age of 51. The most common procedures used with the block were hardware removal of the fibula and open reduction internal fixation of the fibula. The block took on average less than 3 minutes to administer and ultrasound was not used in any cases. No patients were given pain medicines in the recovery unit. None of the patients reported any complications, specifically, there were no cases of foot drop or any persistent paresthesias. The average time it took for patients to first feel pain after the block was approximately 8 hours. On average, patients first took pain medication approximately 11 hours after surgery, and regained sensation in their leg 15 hours after surgery. Conclusion: The benefits of the common peroneal block are multifold, as their clinical outcomes were positive and patients did not experience any complications. Also, from a surgeon perspective, the block is quick to administer and does not require ultrasound or neurostimulation.

Abstract The free fibular flap has been elevated by a “lateral approach” from the posterior edge of the peroneal muscle for more than 40 years. However, in this approach, the surgical view is limited because flap elevation in mandibular reconstruction is performed simultaneously with tumor resection in the supine position, even when using positioning pillows. We herein propose an “anterior approach” as a new surgical method. We retrospectively investigated free fibular flap surgeries performed using the anterior approach, which consists of three anterior approaches, over a seven-year period. First, to avoid the course of the superficial peroneal nerve, the crural fascia was incised 1–2 cm posterior to the anterior edge of the peroneal muscle. The anterior edge of the peroneus muscle is detached from the anterior intermuscular septum. After performing osteotomies distal and proximal to the fibula, the interosseous membrane was incised from the anterior view. Pulling out the fibula to the anterior space between the anterior intermuscular septum and the peroneal muscle made the surgical field shallow. No postoperative superficial or deep peroneal nerve palsies were found in the 55 patients. Only one tourniquet was used in 31 of the 55 cases (56.4%), with an average of 95 min. Twenty-four patients (43.6%) required a second tourniquet 38 min after an interval. Only one tourniquet was used in 25 of the 30 (83.3%) cases in the last 3 years. Moreover, double flaps were used in 21 cases (38.2%), all of which involved ipsilateral ALT flaps. In 18 cases, double-flap elevation and prefabrication were successfully finished before the completion of tumor resection by otorhinolaryngologists.

Objectives Anatomical and methodological detail is lacking regarding local anesthetic peripheral nerve block techniques for distal pelvic limb surgery in cats. The aim of this study was to develop, describe and test nerve block methods based on cadaveric dissections and dye injections. Methods Ten pairs of feline pelvic limbs (n = 20) were dissected and the tibial nerve (T n.), common fibular (peroneal) nerve (CF n., and its two branches, the superficial fibular [peroneal] nerve [SpF n.] and the deep fibular [peroneal] nerve [DpF n.]) and the saphenous nerve (Sa n.) were identified. Based on these dissections, a ‘distal crus block’ (selective blockade of the CF n., T n. and Sa n.) and a ‘distal pes block’ (selective blockade of the SpF n., DpF n., T n. and Sa n.) were developed for surgical procedures in two different regions of the distal pelvic limb. Techniques were tested using new methylene blue (NMB) dye injections in feline pelvic limbs (n = 12). Using a 25 G × 5/8 inch needle and 1 ml syringe, 0.1 ml/kg of NMB dye solution was injected at the site of the CF n., and 0.05 ml/kg was injected at the sites of the SpF n., DpF n., Sa n. and T n. The length and circumference (fully or partially stained) of each stained nerve were measured. Results Positive staining of nerves was observed in 12/12 limbs. The lengths stained for the CF n., DpF n., SpF n., Sa n. and T n. were 27.19 ± 7.13, 20.39 ± 5.57, 22.82 ± 7.13, 30.89 ± 6.99 and 25.16 ± 8.09 mm, respectively. The nerves were fully stained in 12, 12, 10, 11 and 11 out of 12 limbs, respectively. Conclusions and relevance These two, three-point injection methods may be an effective perioperative analgesia technique for feline distal pelvic limb procedures.

Abstract: Giant-cell Tumour (GCT ) is a benign Tumour, locally aggressive neoplasm which is composed of sheets of neoplastic oviod mononuclear cells uniformly distributed large, osteoclast like giant cell. Incidence GCT of proximal fibula is rare. Peroneal nerve function and stability of knee joint must be considered at the proximal fibula GCT. In 2017 we found three cases of GCT of the proximal fibula in the outpatient clinic Saiful Anwar General Hospital. All three of these patients had a confirmed GCT of proximal fibula which planned for Tumour resection, peroneal nerve presevation and LCL ligament reconstruction. This is study of three patients with GCT of proximal fibula was confirm with Clinical Pathological Confrence (CPC). All of patient had presented of lump, slowly growing pain in lateral side of knee, limping when they walk and numbness in dorsal side of foot. One patient cannot dorsoflexion of ankle. We evaluated a peroneal nerve function and stability of knee after operation and one year after resection of tumour. All patient had occurred peroneal nerve lesion with no instability of knee post operatively. Two patient had complaint with numbness in dorsal side of foot and weakness ankle dorsoflexion and after one year both of patient had improved ankle dorsoflexion but still numbness in dorsal side of foot. One patient still complaining numbness in dorsal side of foot and weakness ankle dorsoflexion post operation and one year after operation. There is no LCL ligament instability in all of patient post operation and one year after operation. The peroneal nerve function and LCL ligament stability must consider when facing benign tumours in proximal fibula such as giant cell tumour proximal fibula. These resections result in an unavoidable loss of knee stability because of resecting the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) insertion site on the fibular head. Based on the literature, the incidence rate of postoperative peroneal nerve palsy ranges from 3% to 57%. Giant cell tumour in proximal fibula is rare and require wide excision with intraarticular resection of the proximal tibiofibular join. We must consider about peroneal nerve function and LCL ligament stability during resection of GCT proximal fibula. Keywords: Giant Cell Tumour Proximal Fibula, Peroneal Nerve function, LCL Ligament stability

Ankle fractures are common representing up to 10% of all fractures with an incidence that is rising. Both conservative treatment and operative management of ankle fractures can lead to excellent outcomes. Neurovascular injuries are uncommon but can be a source of significant morbidity and associated poor outcome. The superficial peroneal nerve (SPN) in the lateral approach and the sural nerve in the posterolateral approach are at risk of injury. We report an unexpected finding of a superficial peroneal nerve incarcerated in the fibular fracture site of pronation external rotation type/ Weber-C ankle fracture. To the best of our knowledge we believe this to be the first English language report of an incarcerated SPN at a fibular ankle fracture site.

BACKGROUND: Neurological complications in sciatic nerve (SN) after a total hip replacement (THR) are observed in 0.93.2% of cases in patients with arthrosis deformans and age-related morphologic changes in SN. These cause the need for SN evaluation before THR. This research was aimed at the evaluation of the initial SN capacity with electrophysiological findings in patients with arthrosis deformans of the hip.
 MATERIALS AND METHODS: Electroneuromyography (ENMG) was used to evaluate fibular and tibial nerves M-responses as well as F-waves in 66 patients with dysplastic coxarthrosis and 12 patients with posttraumatic coxarthrosis. The findings were compared to those of the controls.
 RESULTS: Changes in ENMG findings for fibular nerve in 49 patients with dysplastic coxarthrosis were bilateral and showed significant difference only from the norm. In 19 of 66 cases (27.9%) low M-responses (р 0.02) were found in the side subject to THR. In 87.3% of cases, the signs of a decrease in the conductivity of proximal segments of the tibial nerve were revealed. In patients with posttraumatic coxarthrosis, the significant decrease in ENMG findings from both fibular and tibial nerves was observed in the affected side, they made up just 42-50% of those in the opposite side. Asymptomatic progress of denervation damage in hip and tibia muscles sometimes required needle EMG to fund the signs of motor innervation disorder. A-waves revealed in 65% of patients suggested local damage to one or both portions of SN.
 CONCLUSION: ENMG findings in patients with dysplastic arthrosis of the hip enabled revealing of the signs of neuropathy before surgeries and decreasing the risk of neurologic post-surgery complications.

Background: Having prior anatomical knowledge of the anatomical variations is a must for the accurate and effective diagnosis of clinical conditions associated with the sciatic nerve. Sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the human body has been of great interest for the clinicians and anatomists; though many studies have been conducted in the past to study its anatomical aspect. Till now high division or low formation of the sciatic nerve has been reported but this article highlights the non-union of the components of the sciatic nerve and its clinical outcomes. It had been observed that the common fibular and tibial nerve which arise separately from the sacral plexus remain separated throughout their course. They do not join to form the sciatic nerve. Non-union of the components can result in incomplete blockade of the nerve but selective blockade of one of the components can be done when needed. Aim of the study was to determine the level of formation and the level of division of the sciatic nerve.Methods: Sixty-two lower limbs were taken from the Department of Anatomy, AIIMS, New Delhi and gluteal region was observed for common fibular and tibial nerve and their joining to form the sciatic nerve.Results: Out of 62 lower limbs; 52 specimens showed formation within the pelvis but in 10 specimens the sciatic nerve did not form at any point. Division of the nerve in 52 specimens were at various levels on the posterior aspect of thigh.Conclusions: While giving anaesthesia it’s important to know the formation as well as division of the nerve for an effective lower limb block for various surgical interventions and in case of non union of tibial and common fibular nerve to form the sciatic nerve individual nerve block can be given.

Category: Ankle; Sports; Trauma Introduction/Purpose: There are numerous studies recommending fibular groove deepening in the surgical treatment of peroneal tendon dislocation; however, there are some disadvantages to fibular groove deepening procedures. In this study, we evaluated the results of anatomic reattachment of the peroneal retinaculum without fibular groove deepening as a treatment for traumatic peroneal tendon dislocation. Methods: Thirty six patients with recurrent peroneal tendon dislocation, who underwent retinaculum repair without a fibular groove deepening procedure performed by two surgeons between March 2004 and March 2017, were enrolled in this study. Resubluxation of tendon, pain on inversion and eversion power of the ankle were monitored. The range of motion of inversion and eversion were measured and then compared to that of the contralateral side. AOFAS, VAS, FFI scores were obtained for all patients preoperatively and at the final follow-up. Postoperative complications such as infection, sural nerve injury, and recurrence were monitored. Results: Thirty four patients fully recovered without resubluxation of tendon. Two patients were injured again while playing soccer 6 months after the surgery and fast running 20 months after the surgery respectively. One patient had sural nerve injury. But the symptom was relieved at 6 months after the surgery. None of the patients had weakness of evertor. None of the patients had limited ankle motion. Mean AOFAS, VAS, FFI score improved significantly. Conclusion: In conclusion, for the treatment of recurrent dislocation of the peroneal tendon reattachment of the superior retinaculum only without groove deepening followed by proper rehabilitation is sufficient.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Foot drop carries substantial morbidity and is often due to deep peroneal (DPN) or common peroneal nerve (CPN) injury. Treatment options are limited. This study explored a new surgical approach by transferring a superficial peroneal nerve (SPN) branch to DPN. Cadaveric analysis, manual histomorphometry, and a case report are presented. Methods: Twenty-one limbs were analyzed. A reproducible surgical approach was used to identify CPN and trace it to the bifurcation into SPN and DPN, and then to the insertions into the peroneus longus (PL) and tibialis anterior (TA) muscles, respectively. Measurements were made from the superior most aspect of the fibular head to the bifurcation of the CPN, the insertion of the first and second SPN motor branches to the PL, and to the insertion of the DPN into the TA. The first SPN motor branch to the PL and DPN into the TA nerves were harvested, and histomorphological measurements of axonal densities were obtained. Results: Histomorphological analysis showed similar axonal densities between the transferred and target nerves, indicating a comparable potential for effective reinnervation. The mean distances from fibular head to various nerve branches were recorded to ensure tension-free transfer. No significant differences were found between nerve groups regarding axon density, total fascicle area, or total axon counts. Conclusions: This study supported feasibility of this nerve transfer technique, with initial results suggesting it represents a viable treatment option for foot drop secondary to DPN injury. Further research is needed to confirm these findings.
